Stainless Reinforcement

Stainless Reinforcement

Stainless steel reinforcement is a type of reinforcement used in construction to improve the strength and durability of concrete structures. It is made of high-strength stainless steel bars or wires that are designed to resist corrosion and provide superior performance in harsh environments.

Stainless steel reinforcement is typically made of austenitic stainless steel, which contains a high percentage of chromium and nickel. This gives the material excellent corrosion resistance, even in highly corrosive environments such as marine or coastal areas. Stainless steel reinforcement can also resist pitting and crevice corrosion, which can be a problem with traditional carbon steel reinforcement.

In addition to its superior corrosion resistance, stainless steel reinforcement has excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and ductility. This makes it an ideal choice for reinforcement applications that require high strength and toughness, such as bridge decks, marine structures, and chemical plants.

Stainless steel reinforcement can be used in a variety of construction applications, including slabs, walls, columns, and foundations. It is a reliable and durable reinforcement solution that can provide long-lasting performance in even the harshest environments. While it may be more expensive than traditional carbon steel reinforcement, the cost can be offset by its superior performance and longer service life.

All qualities are available in cut lengths, and/or bent to engineer’s schedules. Sawn end dowel bars are available in plain or ribbed bars.
