Steel, alloy; bars and rods, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded

HS v2022 Code: 722830

About steel, alloy; bars and rods, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded

HS code 722830 covers the classification of steel alloy bars and rods that have been hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded. This industry plays a crucial role in the manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. Steel alloy bars and rods are valued for their strength, durability, and versatility, making them indispensable components in various industries, from automotive and machinery to infrastructure and energy production.

Production process

The production of steel alloy bars and rods under HS code 722830 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements, are melted in a furnace to produce molten steel. The molten steel is then cast into ingots or continuous cast into billets or blooms. These semi-finished products are then subjected to hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion processes to shape them into the desired bar or rod form. The specific techniques used depend on the desired final product characteristics, such as size, shape, and mechanical properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel alloy bars and rods under HS code 722830 include iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and extrusion presses, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the high-temperature operations involved in steel production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 722830 is steel alloy bars and rods, which are then consumed by various downstream industries. These products are commonly used in the manufacturing of 731500 Chains and parts thereof, of iron or steel, 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.s., and 840991 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines of heading 84.07 or 84.08, among others. The versatility of steel alloy bars and rods allows them to be utilized in a wide range of applications, including construction, machinery, automotive, and energy infrastructure.
