About alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width of less than 600mm

HS code 7226 covers a range of alloy steel flat-rolled products with a width of less than 600mm. These specialized steel products are essential components in various industries, including automotive, machinery, and construction. They offer enhanced properties such as increased strength, corrosion resistance, and durability, making them crucial for applications where high-performance materials are required.

Production process

The production of alloy steel flat-rolled products under HS code 7226 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including alloying elements and steel, are melted and refined to achieve the desired chemical composition. The molten steel is then cast into ingots or continuously cast into slabs or billets. These semi-finished products are then subjected to hot rolling, where they are passed through a series of rollers to reduce their thickness and shape them into the desired flat-rolled form. Depending on the specific requirements, the products may undergo further processing, such as heat treatment, surface finishing, or specialized rolling techniques.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7226 alloy steel flat-rolled products include high-quality steel, alloying elements (such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum), and specialized rolling and processing equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary for the melting, refining, and rolling processes. The availability of skilled labor and advanced manufacturing technologies also plays a crucial role in the efficient production of these specialized steel products.

Production outputs

The alloy steel flat-rolled products covered under HS code 7226 are widely used in various industries. They find applications in the manufacturing of 7308 Structures and parts of structures, 8407 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines, 8408 (Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)), and 8483 Transmission shafts and cranks; bearing housings and plain shaft bearings; gears and gearing; ball or roller screws; gear boxes and other speed changers, among others. These high-performance steel products are essential for producing components that require enhanced strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.
