About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more but not exceeding 10mm

HS code 721912 covers stainless steel flat-rolled products that are hot-rolled, in coils, and have a width of 600mm or more. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications, from industrial equipment to architectural elements. As a key component of the broader steel industry, the production and trade of these stainless steel products significantly contribute to the overall economic activity and development.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721912 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel is produced through a process of melting and refining various alloy elements, such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and processed into the desired flat-rolled form. The hot-rolling process involves passing the steel through a series of rollers to reduce the thickness and achieve the required dimensions, while the coiling process ensures the efficient storage and transportation of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721912 stainless steel flat-rolled products include high-quality stainless steel scrap or raw materials, such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. Additionally, specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other production equipment are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721912 is stainless steel flat-rolled products, which are widely used in a variety of industries. These materials are often consumed by manufacturers of 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, and 730820 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, among others. The versatility and corrosion-resistance of these stainless steel products make them valuable inputs for a diverse range of applications, from industrial equipment to architectural and consumer goods.
