IN THE MATTER OF an interim review, under subsection 76.01(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, of the order made by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal on September 3, 2003, in Expiry Review Nos. RR-2002-003 and RR-2002-004 concerning:
CERTAIN STAINLESS STEEL ROUND BAR PRODUCTS ORIGINATING IN OR EXPORTED FROM THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, FRANCE, INDIA, ITALY, JAPAN, SPAIN, SWEDEN, CHINESE TAIPEI, THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA
ORDER
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal, under the provisions of subsection 76.01(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, has conducted an interim review of its order made on September 3, 2003, in Expiry Review Nos. RR-2002-003 and RR-2002-004 concerning stainless steel round bar of sizes 25 mm up to 570 mm in diameter inclusive originating in or exported from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Chinese Taipei, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Korea (the Order).
Pursuant to paragraph 76.01(5)(b) of the Special Import Measures Act, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal hereby amends the Order to exclude the following product:
RoyAlloy (trade name), or equivalent, having a chemical composition within the following limits (percentage by weight): C 0.040 min. 0.050 max. / Mn 1.20 min. 1.35 max. / P 0.025 max. / S 0.11 min. 0.17 max. / Si 0.35 min. 0.55 max. / Cr 12.25 min. 12.65 max. / Ni 0.30 max. / Cu 0.50 min. 0.70 max. / V 0.02 min. 0.06 max. / N 0.040 min. 0.060 max.; and the following unspecified residual elements not to exceed the following limits (percentage by weight): Mo 0.25 max. / Cb 0.05 max. / Ti 0.05 max. / Co 0.20 max. / Al 0.05 max. / Sn 0.03 max. / 0 Lap max. / W 0.15 max.; for use in building mould bases for plastic injection mould tooling produced in the range of 0.5 to 14 in. in diameter (12.5 to 360 mm) in lengths of up to 192 in. (4,875 mm); electric furnace melted, ladle refined, followed by AOD, VOD, NOD or similar processing prior to ingot pouring or slab casting; calcium treatment for sulfide shape and reduced oxygen levels must be used for this material; melter shall strive to meet the requested aim levels listed above; combined %C + %N level of 0.095 is ideal for this material; produced to a Brinell hardness level of 293 - 340 BHN (equivalent of 31 - 37 HRC): minimum ultimate tensile strength of 125 ksi (862 MPa) and minimum yield strength of 105 ksi (724 MPa) @ .2% offset; room temperature density of 0.283 pounds per cubic in. (7.83 gr per cubic cm); modulus of elasticity of 29.0 x 106 psi (200 x 103 MPa); measured thermal conductivity of 117.62 Btu.in/hr ft2°F @300°F; exhibits excellent corrosion resistance when exposed to water or steam, similar to AISI 410 and 416 stainless steels.
