of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and a width
that is 12.7 mm or greater and that measures
at least 10 times the thickness. The products
covered also include products not in coils
(e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness of 4.75
mm or more and a width exceeding 150 mm
and measuring at least twice the thickness.
The products described above may be
rectangular, square, circular, or other shape
and include products of either rectangular or
non-rectangular cross-section where such
cross-section is achieved subsequent to the
rolling process, i.e., products which have
been ‘‘worked after rolling’’ (e.g., products
which have been beveled or rounded at the
edges). For purposes of the width and
thickness requirements referenced above:
(1) Where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within the
scope if application of either the nominal or
actual measurement would place it within
the scope based on the definitions set forth
above, and
(2) where the width and thickness vary for
a specific product (e.g., the thickness of
certain products with non-rectangular crosssection, the width of certain products with
non-rectangular shape, etc.), the
measurement at its greatest width or
thickness applies.
Steel products included in the scope of this
investigation are products in which: (1) Iron
predominates, by weight, over each of the
other contained elements; (2) the carbon
content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and
(3) none of the elements listed below exceeds
the quantity, by weight, respectively
indicated:
• 2.50 percent of manganese, or
• 3.30 percent of silicon, or
• 1.50 percent of copper, or
• 1.50 percent of aluminum, or
• 1.25 percent of chromium, or
• 0.30 percent of cobalt, or
• 0.40 percent of lead, or
• 2.00 percent of nickel, or
• 0.30 percent of tungsten (also called
wolfram), or
• 0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
• 0.10 percent of niobium (also called
columbium), or
• 0.30 percent of vanadium, or
• 0.30 percent of zirconium
Unless specifically excluded, products are
included in this scope regardless of levels of
boron and titanium.
For example, specifically included in this
scope are vacuum degassed, fully stabilized
(commonly referred to as interstitial-free (IF))
steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels,
motor lamination steels, Advanced High
Strength Steels (AHSS), and Ultra High
Strength Steels (UHSS). IF steels are
recognized as low carbon steels with microalloying levels of elements such as titanium
and/or niobium added to stabilize carbon and
nitrogen elements. HSLA steels are
recognized as steels with micro-alloying
levels of elements such as chromium, copper,
niobium, titanium, vanadium, and
molybdenum. Motor lamination steels
contain micro-alloying levels of elements
such as silicon and aluminum. AHSS and
UHSS are considered high tensile strength
and high elongation steels, although AHSS
and UHSS are covered whether or not they

are high tensile strength or high elongation
steels.
Subject merchandise includes cold-rolled
steel that has been further processed in a
third country, including but not limited to
annealing, tempering, painting, varnishing,
trimming, cutting, punching, and/or slitting,
or any other processing that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of the investigation if performed in the
country of manufacture of the cold-rolled
steel.
All products that meet the written physical
description, and in which the chemistry
quantities do not exceed any one of the noted
element levels listed above, are within the
scope of this investigation unless specifically
excluded. The following products are outside
of and/or specifically excluded from the
scope of this investigation:
• Ball bearing steels; 8
• Tool steels; 9
• Silico-manganese steel; 10
• Grain-oriented electrical steels (GOES) as
defined in the final determination of the
U.S. Department of Commerce in GrainOriented Electrical Steel From Germany,
Japan, and Poland.11
• Non-Oriented Electrical Steels (NOES), as
defined in the antidumping orders issued
by the U.S. Department of Commerce in
Non-Oriented Electrical Steel From the
People’s Republic of China, Germany,
8 Ball bearing steels are defined as steels which
contain, in addition to iron, each of the following
elements by weight in the amount specified: (i) Not
less than 0.95 nor more than 1.13 percent of carbon;
(ii) not less than 0.22 nor more than 0.48 percent
of manganese; (iii) none, or not more than 0.03
percent of sulfur; (iv) none, or not more than 0.03
percent of phosphorus; (v) not less than 0.18 nor
more than 0.37 percent of silicon; (vi) not less than
1.25 nor more than 1.65 percent of chromium; (vii)

the following combinations of elements in the
quantity by weight respectively indicated: (i) More
than 1.2 percent carbon and more than 10.5 percent
chromium; or (ii) not less than 0.3 percent carbon
and 1.25 percent or more but less than 10.5 percent

or (iv) 0.9 percent to 1.2 percent, inclusive,
chromium and 0.9 percent to 1.4 percent, inclusive,
molybdenum; or (v) not less than 0.5 percent carbon
and not less than 3.5 percent molybdenum; or (vi)
not less than 0.5 percent carbon and not less than
5.5 percent tungsten.
10 Silico-manganese steel is defined as steels
containing by weight: (i) Not more than 0.7 percent
of carbon; (ii) 0.5 percent or more but not more than
1.9 percent of manganese, and (iii) 0.6 percent or
more but not more than 2.3 percent of silicon.

Orders, 79 FR 71,741, 71,741–42 (Dep’t of

as ‘‘cold-rolled, flat-rolled, alloy steel products,
whether or not in coils, regardless of width, having
an actual thickness of 0.20 mm or more, in which
the core loss is substantially equal in any direction
of magnetization in the plane of the material. The
term ‘substantially equal’ means that the cross grain
direction of core loss is no more than 1.5 times the
straight grain direction (i.e., the rolling direction) of
core loss. NOES has a magnetic permeability that
does not exceed 1.65 Tesla when tested at a field
of 800 A/m (equivalent to 10 Oersteds) along (i.e.,
parallel to) the rolling direction of the sheet (i.e.,
B800 value). NOES contains by weight more than
1.00 percent of silicon but less than 3.5 percent of
silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, and
not more than 1.5 percent of aluminum. NOES has
a surface oxide coating, to which an insulation
coating may be applied.’’
