Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width 600mm or more

HS v2022 Code: 7225

About alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width 600mm or more

HS code 7225 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing alloy steel flat-rolled products with a width of 600mm or more. These materials play a vital role in various manufacturing sectors, from automotive and construction to machinery and infrastructure development. The global demand for high-quality alloy steel flat-rolled products has been steadily increasing, driven by the need for stronger, more durable, and corrosion-resistant materials in a wide range of applications.

Production process

The production of alloy steel flat-rolled products under HS code 7225 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including various alloy elements, are melted and refined in electric arc furnaces or basic oxygen furnaces. The molten steel is then cast into ingots or continuously cast into slabs or billets. These semi-finished products are then subjected to hot rolling, where they are passed through a series of rollers to reduce their thickness and shape them into the desired flat-rolled form. Depending on the specific requirements, the rolled products may undergo further processing, such as annealing, tempering, or surface treatment, to enhance their properties and performance.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of HS code 7225 alloy steel flat-rolled products include high-quality iron ore, alloying elements (such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum), and various types of scrap steel. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other advanced manufacturing equipment to ensure consistent quality and efficient production. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the various stages of the production process.

Production outputs

The alloy steel flat-rolled products covered under HS code 7225 are widely used in a range of industries. These materials are commonly employed in the manufacture of 7308 Structures and parts of structures, 8407 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines, 8408 (Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)), and 8701 (Tractors (other than tractors of heading 8709)), among other applications. The versatility and superior properties of HS code 7225 alloy steel flat-rolled products make them indispensable in the production of a wide variety of industrial and consumer goods.
