Steel, alloy; bars and rods, cold-formed or cold-finished

HS v2022 Code: 722850

About steel, alloy; bars and rods, cold-formed or cold-finished

HS code 722850 covers the import and export of steel alloy bars and rods that have been cold-formed or cold-finished. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. Steel alloy bars and rods produced under this code are known for their superior strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making them highly sought after in industries such as automotive, machinery, and infrastructure development.

Production process

The production of steel alloy bars and rods under HS code 722850 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the desired steel alloy is melted and cast into billets or ingots. These semi-finished products are then subjected to a series of cold-forming or cold-finishing techniques, such as rolling, drawing, or extruding, to achieve the desired shape and dimensions. The cold-working process enhances the material's mechanical properties, resulting in a stronger and more uniform product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steel alloy bars and rods under HS code 722850 include high-quality steel alloy feedstock, specialized rolling or drawing equipment, and energy sources such as electricity or natural gas. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, advanced manufacturing techniques, and strict quality control measures to ensure the consistent production of these critical industrial materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 722850 is steel alloy bars and rods in various shapes and sizes, suitable for a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 731000 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, and 840991 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines of heading 84.07 or 84.08, among others. The versatility and durability of these steel alloy products make them essential components in the manufacturing of machinery, construction materials, and automotive parts.
