Hot-rolled forged Steel bar is a metal material produced by hot-rolling process, which usually has high mechanical properties and wide application fields. The following is a detailed analysis of hot rolled forged rods:

Hot rolling process: Hot rolling is made by gradually processing the steel billet under high temperature conditions through a series of rolling processes (such as continuous casting of blank → rough rolling → intermediate rolling → finishing rolling, etc.).

In this process, the steel billet is heated to a high temperature and then rolled multiple times through the rolling mill to finally form the required bar shape and size. This process can significantly improve the internal structure and properties of the material, giving it better mechanical properties and processing properties.

Hot rolled forged steel bars are widely used in various fields, including but not limited to:

Mechanical equipment: used to manufacture parts and components of various mechanical equipment, such as bearings, gears, shafts, etc.
Automotive industry: used to manufacture transmission systems, suspension systems, engine parts, etc. for automobiles.
Construction engineering: used to manufacture steel materials for construction, such as steel columns, steel beams, steel bars, etc.
Aerospace: Due to its high strength and high toughness, hot-rolled forged steel bars are also widely used in the aerospace field, such as manufacturing aircraft engine blades, landing gear and other key components.

On September 3, 2024, the Chilean Anti-Price Distortion Commission (CNDP) announced its decision to terminate the anti-dumping (AD) investigation on forged steel bars for manufacturing grinding balls with a diameter of less than 4 inches originating in China, recommending not to impose AD duties.

As a result, the temporary AD duties on steel bars and balls, with a respective duty rate of 33.5% and 24.9% set in April, will be ended.

The product involved is classified under HS code 7228.3000.
