SS Bars
Steel reinforcement bars in RCC are subject to corrosion, especially in coastal areas with high humidity. Stainless Steel bars offer a solution to corrosion in reinforced concrete structures which help achieve a design life of 80 to 120 years. R&D for the manufacture of stainless steel bars has yielded the desired technical parameters.
Features of SS Bars
- Good high and low temperature tensile/ yield strengths to match/ exceed those of carbon steel
- Inherently good corrosion resistance, especially from chlorides in marine environment
- No cathodic protection needed
- High thermal resistance
- Better ductility and bendability
- Significant savings in cost of steel
