About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 0.5mm or more but not exceeding 1mm

HS code 721934 covers stainless steel flat-rolled products that are at least 600mm wide and have a thickness between 0.5mm and 1mm. This category of steel products is widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and consumer appliances, due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. As a key component in many manufacturing processes, this stainless steel product plays a vital role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721934 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 rolled and processed through a series of cold-rolling and annealing steps to achieve the desired thickness and surface finish. The final products are then cut to size and inspected before being shipped to customers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721934 stainless steel products include stainless steel scrap, alloying elements such as chromium and nickel, and 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 raw materials and resources can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721934 is stainless steel flat-rolled products, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. 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, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including pressure-reducing valves and thermostatically controlled valves, among others.
