Iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, of a width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, with patterns in relief

HS v2022 Code: 720840

About iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, of a width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, with patterns in relief

HS code 720840 covers a specific type of iron or non-alloy steel product - flat-rolled steel sheets or plates that are hot-rolled, have a width of 600mm or more, and feature patterns in relief. This type of steel is widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing, due to its durability, versatility, and unique aesthetic properties. As a key component in many essential products, the 720840 industry plays a vital role in supporting economic growth and development across numerous sectors.

Production process

The production of HS 720840 steel involves a multi-step hot-rolling process. First, raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and scrap metal are smelted in a blast furnace to produce molten pig iron. This pig iron is then refined in a basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace to remove impurities and create the desired steel composition. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently reheated and passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce the thickness and create the flat-rolled sheets or plates. During the final hot-rolling stage, specialized rollers impart the distinctive patterns in relief on the steel surface.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of HS 720840 steel include iron ore, coal, scrap metal, and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized rolling mill equipment, including rolling stands, rollers, and cooling systems, as well as a reliable energy supply to power the various stages of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the HS 720840 industry is flat-rolled steel sheets or plates with patterns in relief. These products are then consumed by a range of downstream industries, including 730110 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, 730890 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, n.e.c. in heading no. 7308, 870120 Road tractors for semi-trailers, and 870321 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc.
