Stainless steel rebar has proven corrosion resistance and will last a century!
Use Stainless Steel in areas subject to corrosive environments like de-icing salts, chemicals or salt water or in structures where magnetic permeability is a concern.
The ideal location for a stainless application is for a structure that will be very difficult if not impossible to close for repairs. Build it and FORGET it.
- Stainless Steel Reinforcing meets ASTM A955M Specifications.
- Stainless Steel Rebar is non-corrosive and now being spec’ed by DOT’s and engineering firms throughout North America.
- Stainless Steel Rebar does not need expensive coatings or treatments to be corrosion resistant.
- There is nothing sprayed on that could crack during fabrication.
- Magnetic or non-magnetic, depending on the alloy specified.
- Good high and low temperature mechanical properties.
- Reduced life cycle cost for concrete structures
- Alleviation of maintenance and the costs associated with disruption.
Higher Yield – ASTM A955M grade 520 requires a 75 KSI min yield. Future designs may start to reduce the steel required by downsizing to the next size and still maintain the strength of the structure.
