Steel, alloy; bars and rods, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded

HS v2017 Code: 722830

About steel, alloy; bars and rods, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded

HS code 722830 covers the import and export of steel alloy bars and rods that have been hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded. This industry is a critical component of the global steel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing and construction applications. Steel alloy bars and rods are valued for their strength, durability, and versatility, making them indispensable in sectors such as automotive, machinery, and infrastructure development.

Production process

The production of steel alloy bars and rods under HS code 722830 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including various alloying elements, are melted and combined in a furnace to create the desired steel alloy composition. The molten steel is then cast into ingots or continuous cast into billets or blooms. These semi-finished products are then subjected to hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion processes to shape them into the final bars and rods. The specific techniques used depend on the desired dimensions, surface finish, and mechanical properties of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel alloy bars and rods under HS code 722830 include iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Specialized machinery, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and drawing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, energy resources, and transportation infrastructure are critical inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 722830 are steel alloy bars and rods, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These products are commonly used in the manufacture of 731500 Chains and parts thereof, 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, and 840991 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines of heading 84.07 or 84.08, among others. The versatility of steel alloy bars and rods makes them an essential input for a diverse range of applications, from construction and infrastructure to automotive and machinery production.
