Steel, alloy or non-alloy; hollow drill bars and rods

HS v2017 Code: 722880

About steel, alloy or non-alloy; hollow drill bars and rods

HS code 722880 covers the production and trade of steel, both alloy and non-alloy, in the form of hollow drill bars and rods. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader metalworking and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials and components for a wide range of applications. The demand for these products is driven by the ongoing need for infrastructure development, machinery manufacturing, and various industrial processes worldwide.

Production process

The production of steel hollow drill bars and rods 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 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 or forging to shape them into the final hollow drill bar or rod form. Precision machining and finishing steps may be employed to ensure the desired dimensions, surface quality, and mechanical properties of the final products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of HS code 722880 items include iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Specialized machinery, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and precision cutting tools, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, energy resources, and transportation infrastructure are important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 722880 are steel hollow drill bars and rods, which are used in a variety of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 731320 Drilling or mining, 842951 Excavating machinery, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves, and similar appliances, where they are used in the production of drilling equipment, construction machinery, and industrial valves and fittings. The outputs of this industry may also be further processed or incorporated into other manufactured goods, contributing to the broader metalworking and engineering sectors.
