HRB 500E is a micro-alloy, hot-rolled, continuously threaded reinforcing steel bar designed for seismic construction applications. This high-tensile, high-ductility plain carbon steel meets demanding seismic structural design requirements and is available in both plain and deformed configurations.

• Seismic design compliance - Manufactured to 500E steel specification standards
• High strength development - Achieves ultimate strength with short embedment depths using foot plates
• Enhanced structural integrity - Threaded connectors join bars effectively
• Full strength seismic joints - Connectors exceed 500MPa bar capacity (excluding some Reidbrace fittings)
• Construction efficiency - Eliminates cast-in starter bars, reduces congestion, and removes need for hooked bars
• Cost optimization - Reduces labor and material costs while solving construction challenges
• Versatile application - Suitable for thin concrete sections including wall panels

Remark: Yield, ratio and elongation limits are characteristic values

Specific mass tolerance for all bar diameters = nominal mass per meter ±4.5%

*Where CE = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15

This reinforcing steel derives superior strength and ductility through micro-alloying with small vanadium additions. HRB 500E grade steel is readily weldable, hot or cold bent, threaded, and galvanized. Test certificates are available for every production batch.
