Steel, alloy; bars and rods, cold-formed or cold-finished

HS v2017 Code: 722850

About steel, alloy; bars and rods, cold-formed or cold-finished

HS code 722850 covers the import and export of steel alloy bars and rods that have been cold-formed or cold-finished. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. Steel alloy bars and rods produced under this code are known for their strength, durability, and versatility, making them indispensable components in various industries, from automotive and aerospace to infrastructure development and machinery production.

Production process

The production of steel alloy bars and rods under HS code 722850 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including various steel alloys, are melted and cast into billets or ingots. These semi-finished products are then subjected to a series of cold-forming or cold-finishing techniques, such as rolling, drawing, or extruding, to shape them into the desired bar or rod profiles. The cold-working process enhances the material's strength and surface finish, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel alloy bars and rods under HS code 722850 include various steel alloys, such as 720221 Ferro-chromium, 720221 Ferro-nickel, and 720229 Ferro-alloys, nesoi. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, drawing machines, and extrusion presses, are essential for the cold-forming and cold-finishing processes. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 722850 are steel alloy bars and rods in various shapes and sizes, suitable for a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 730120 Sections, iron or steel, piled, 730721 Flanges, iron or steel, and 732690 Articles of iron or steel, nesoi, which use them as raw materials for the manufacture of more complex components and structures.
