About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, (not in coils), of a thickness of 3mm or more but less than 4.75mm

HS code 721923 covers the classification of stainless steel flat-rolled products that are hot-rolled, have a width of 600mm or more, and a thickness between 3mm and 4.75mm. 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.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721923 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel is melted in an electric arc furnace or basic oxygen furnace, and then cast into slabs or billets. These semi-finished products are then reheated and passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce the thickness and shape the material into the desired flat-rolled form. The final products may undergo additional processing, such as annealing or pickling, to enhance their surface finish and mechanical properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721923 include stainless steel scrap, alloying elements (such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum), and energy sources (such as electricity and natural gas) to power the melting and rolling processes. Additionally, specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other production equipment are essential for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 721923 are stainless steel flat-rolled products, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries. These products may be used in the manufacture of 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, and 940320 Metal furniture, among other applications.
