Stainless steel wire

HS v2022 Code: 7223

About stainless steel wire

HS code 7223 covers stainless steel wire, a versatile and essential product used across a wide range of industries. Stainless steel wire is valued for its corrosion resistance, durability, and strength, making it a critical component in applications such as construction, automotive, and industrial machinery. This industry plays a vital role in supporting global supply chains and infrastructure development.

Production process

Stainless steel wire is typically produced through a process of drawing, where a stainless steel rod or bar is pulled through a series of progressively smaller dies to reduce its diameter and increase its length. This process can be repeated multiple times to achieve the desired wire diameter and properties. Annealing and other heat treatments may also be used to modify the wire's characteristics, such as its tensile strength or flexibility.

Production inputs

The production of stainless steel wire requires several key inputs, including stainless steel billets or rods, which serve as the raw material. Specialized wire-drawing equipment, such as dies, pulleys, and tensioning systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, lubricants and coolants may be used to facilitate the drawing process and ensure the wire's quality.

Production outputs

Stainless steel wire produced under HS code 7223 is a versatile output that can be consumed by a variety of other industries. It is commonly used in the manufacture of 7314 Cloth, grill, netting and fencing, of iron or steel wire, 8311 Wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes, with or without coating, for soldering, brazing, welding or deposition of metal or of metal carbides, and 8708 Parts and accessories of motor vehicles. The wire's corrosion resistance and strength make it a valuable input for these and other applications.
