• Stainless steel reinforcing bars (rebar) and associated products are available to extend the lifetime of concrete structures in corrosive environments. 

• Highway bridges, parking garages, coastal facilities and other structures have been built using stainless steel rebars. Some installations date back some 20 years ... one marine structure has a service history of 60 years !

• In addition to improved corrosion resistance, austenitic stainless steel reinforcing can be supplied in the non-magnetic condition. This property is desirable in certain military, medical and scientific applications.

• Several grades of stainless steel combine favorable strength, ductility and toughness over a wide temperature range (including very low temperatures). These mechanical properties are advantageous for resistance to earthquakes.

• This web site is devoted to providing technical information, applications information and news items concerning stainless steel reinforcing bars.
