High Tensile Deformed Reinforcing Bars For Building Construction

Stainless steel reinforcing bar has a wide range of applications when there is a specific requirement relating to corrosion resistance, durability and maintenance.

Stainless steel reinforcing is typically used in order to ensure a high level of corrosion resistance, usually because future maintenance or repair will be difficult to accomplish and carried out infrequently.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Bar
Corrosion resistant
Prevents chloride induced corrosion in reinforced concrete
More resistant to abrasion and damage during construction
Lower maintenance and repair costs
Good when future maintenance or repair access is difficult
Excellent for critical corrosion zones
Low conductivity and high strength at elevated temperatures
Less concrete cover required
Can be cut and bent without damaging product
Why Stainless Steel Rebar is so effective
The primary driver for using stainless steel reinforcing steel is it’s ability to be highly resistant to corrosion. If there are areas which will be exposed to corrosive elements, or if access is difficult to achieve then stainless steel is a good option to ensure structural integrity is maintained even in the absence of regular maintenance and repairs being carried out.

Stainless steel is also more durable during the construction process and it less likely to be compromised due to abrasions when compared to galvanised and other coated steel solutions.

Stainless rebar can be cut and bent without damaging the coating. In contrast when using galvanised rebar, the bars would need to be cut and bent prior to being sent away to be hot dipped galvanished.
