About steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, of silicon-electrical steel, grain-oriented

HS code 722511 covers the classification of flat-rolled steel products that are alloy-based, grain-oriented, and have a width of 600mm or more. This type of steel is commonly referred to as silicon-electrical steel and is a crucial material in the manufacturing of transformers, electric motors, and other electrical equipment. Its unique properties, such as high permeability and low core loss, make it an essential component in the efficient generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power.

Production process

The production of 722511 steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, of silicon-electrical steel, grain-oriented involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including iron, silicon, and other alloying elements, are melted and cast into ingots or slabs. These are then subjected to a series of hot and cold rolling processes to achieve the desired thickness and grain orientation. The final step involves the application of specialized coatings or treatments to enhance the steel's magnetic properties and reduce energy losses.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of 722511 steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, of silicon-electrical steel, grain-oriented include iron ore, silicon, and other alloying elements such as aluminum, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, specialized rolling and annealing equipment, as well as precise temperature and atmosphere control systems, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 722511 is 722511 steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, of silicon-electrical steel, grain-oriented, which is then consumed by various industries, including 8501 (electric motors), nc_link(8502)(electric generating sets), and nc_link(8504)(transformers). This specialized steel is a critical component in the production of efficient and high-performance electrical equipment, contributing to the overall efficiency of power generation, transmission, and distribution systems.
