Gulf Steel: your ultimate choice for reinforcing bars

 

Reinforcement steel bars are used for reinforcement of concrete structures, manufacture of anchor bolts, etc. Reinforcing bars or rebars can be either smooth or deformed. They are produced by hot rolling process with subsequent superficial hardening by heat treatment.

Rebar is necessary to compensate for the fact that whilst concrete is strong in compression, it is relatively weak in tension. By casting rebar into concrete, it is able to carry tensile loads and so increase overall strength.

To increase the tensile strength of concrete, a reinforcing bar — rebar — is used. The compressive strength of concrete is tremendous. Incredible force is required to crush concrete. However, concrete has relatively weak tensile strength. Far less force is required to crack concrete by bending or twisting it than is required to crush concrete.

The purpose of rebar is to correct this imbalance. Have you ever noticed the way rebar is constructed? Builders strategically frame the steel rods in such a way that keeps concrete and mortar in check. How exactly is rebar manufactured through and how is it distributed? There are many companies that specialize in rebar manufacturing and for good reason, this is one product that is always in high demand.

Steel (carbon or alloy) is melted down to liquid form, which requires an extreme amount of heat to achieve.  Once melted, the liquid steel is pulled through small round openings to give the rebar its shape.

There are many different types of rebars and are used for various applications accordingly. Some of the most frequent ones are stainless steel rebar, European rebar, carbon steel rebar, galvanized rebar, and epoxy-coated rebar.
