Steel, alloy or non-alloy; hollow drill bars and rods

HS v2022 Code: 722880

About steel, alloy or non-alloy; hollow drill bars and rods

HS code 722880 covers the production and trade of steel, both alloy and non-alloy, in the form of hollow drill bars and rods. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. The demand for these steel products is driven by the need for durable, high-strength materials in industries such as 731120 Oil or gas drilling machinery, 842951 Front-end shovel loaders, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves, and similar appliances, among others.

Production process

The production of steel hollow drill bars and rods 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 solid billets or ingots, which are subsequently heated and rolled or extruded into the desired hollow bar or rod shapes. Precision machining and finishing processes may be employed to ensure the final products meet strict dimensional and quality standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 722880 steel products include iron ore, coal, and various alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Specialized machinery, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and extrusion presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, energy resources, and transportation infrastructure play crucial roles in the efficient production and distribution of these steel products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 722880 are hollow drill bars and rods made of steel, both alloy and non-alloy. These products are widely used in the manufacturing and construction industries, serving as essential components in a variety of applications. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by industries such as 731120 Oil or gas drilling machinery, 842951 Front-end shovel loaders, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves, and similar appliances, where their high strength and durability are valued.
