Stainless Steel Reinforcing Bars (Rebar)
Alloy Grades       Go To Rebar Standards

A range of stainless alloy types is available for rebar selection, to meet the mechanical design aspects and the expected corrosivity of the environment.

Stainless steels are produced in five alloy groups: austenitic, ferritic, duplex (ferritic-austenitic), martensitic and precipitation hardened. These groups have different microstructures, which are determined by the selected chemical compositions and the production steps involved.

For stainless reinforcing bar applications, austenitic and duplex alloys have generally received the most attention. Their chemical compositions and mechanical properties are listed in the tables below.

Typical Mechanical Properties of Stainless Steels used for Rebars

* Austenitic alloys may become magnetic if cold-worked
