About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 3mm or more but less than 4.75mm

HS code 721932 covers the classification of stainless steel, flat-rolled products with a width of 600mm or more, that have been cold-rolled to a thickness between 3mm and 4.75mm. This type of stainless steel is widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and consumer goods manufacturing, due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. As a key component in many supply chains, the production and trade of these stainless steel products play a significant role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721932 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel is produced by combining iron with chromium and other alloying elements. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled into thin sheets or strips through a series of hot and cold rolling processes. The cold rolling stage is particularly important, as it helps to improve the surface finish and mechanical properties of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721932 include stainless steel raw materials, such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, as well as specialized rolling and processing equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are necessary to power the various stages of production. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721932 is stainless steel flat-rolled products, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products may be further processed or fabricated into components for 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, 842119 Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases, 870321 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, and other industries that require durable, corrosion-resistant materials.
