Products classified under HTS 7228.60.10
D2 Tool Steel Round Bar
A round bar made from D2 tool steel, an air-hardening, high-carbon, high-chromium alloy steel meeting the HTS definition for tool steel with more than 1.2% carbon and more than 10.5% chromium. Used primarily for making cutting tools, dies, and punches due to its excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability. Classified under 7228.60.10 as a bar or rod of tool steel (other than high-speed steel).
O1 Tool Steel Flat Bar
Flat bar stock of O1 tool steel, an oil-hardening alloy with 0.9% carbon and manganese/silicon/chromium meeting tool steel criteria under U.S. note (e)(iii). Ideal for blades, knives, and forming tools requiring good machinability and toughness. Falls under HTS 7228.60.10 as other bars and rods of tool steel excluding high-speed varieties.
A2 Tool Steel Square Rod
Square cross-section rod of A2 tool steel, an air-hardening grade with 1% carbon and 5% chromium qualifying as tool steel per U.S. note (e)(ii). Commonly used for shear blades, punches, and forming dies due to abrasion resistance. HTS 7228.60.10 covers such other tool steel rods not high-speed.
S7 Tool Steel Round Bar
Shock-resisting S7 tool steel round bar with 0.5% carbon and 3.25% chromium/molybdenum per tool steel definition (e)(v). Designed for impact tools like chisels and punches. Classified in 7228.60.10 as tool steel bar other than high-speed.
