Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, (excluding silicon-electrical or high speed steel), hot-rolled

HS v2017 Code: 722691

About steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, (excluding silicon-electrical or high speed steel), hot-rolled

HS code 722691 covers the classification of steel alloy flat-rolled products with a width less than 600mm, excluding silicon-electrical or high speed steel, that have been hot-rolled. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for the production of a wide range of goods and infrastructure. The demand for these specialized steel products is driven by the need for lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant materials in various applications, making it an integral part of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of steel alloy flat-rolled products under HS code 722691 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements, are melted in a furnace to produce the desired steel composition. The molten steel is then cast into ingots or continuous cast into slabs, which are subsequently rolled and processed through a series of hot-rolling and finishing operations to achieve the desired thickness, width, and surface finish.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel alloy flat-rolled products under HS code 722691 include iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and finishing equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 722691 is steel alloy flat-rolled products with a width less than 600mm, excluding silicon-electrical or high speed steel, that have been hot-rolled. These materials are widely used in the manufacturing of 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, 732619 Other cast articles of iron or steel, and 731815 Threaded articles of iron or steel, among other applications. The versatility and durability of these steel products make them essential for various industries, including construction, automotive, and machinery.
