Steel, alloy; angles, shapes and sections

HS v2017 Code: 722870

About steel, alloy; angles, shapes and sections

HS code 722870 covers the classification of steel alloy angles, shapes, and sections. This industry plays a crucial role in the manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential building materials for a wide range of applications. Steel alloy products classified under this code are known for their strength, durability, and versatility, making them indispensable in the production of various goods and infrastructure projects.

Production process

The production of steel alloy angles, shapes, and sections typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements, are melted in a furnace to create the desired steel alloy composition. The molten steel is then cast into various shapes, such as billets or blooms, using continuous casting or other techniques. These semi-finished products are then further processed through rolling, forging, or other metalworking methods to produce the final angles, shapes, and sections that meet specific dimensional and quality requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel alloy angles, shapes, and sections include iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and forging presses, to transform the raw materials into the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential for the various stages of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the steel alloy angles, shapes, and sections industry are the various structural and architectural components used in construction, manufacturing, and other applications. These products may be consumed by industries classified under 730120 Steel, alloy; angles, shapes and sections, hot-rolled or 730210 Steel, alloy; rails for railway or tramway tracks, among others. The versatility of these steel alloy products allows them to be utilized in a wide range of industries, contributing to the overall economic development and infrastructure growth.
