Product

RAK Steel rebars are hot rolled in a new highly automatic rolling mill and subjected to online Thermo mechanical treatment called Quenching and Self Tempering (QST).

Features

›Ribs: RAK Steel rebars' ribs are superior in design and quality. They have better bonding with concrete because they have uniform, deeper grooves made on CNC machines.

›Bendabilty: The tough outer surface and the soft core makes the rebar bendable and ideal for:

• cut and bend operations and on site work.
• Improves productivity and reduces wastage
• Resists loss of strength during high middle east temperatures

›Weldability: low carbon content RAK steel  rebar makes it easy to weld.

›Corrosion resistant: there is no torsion residual stress in RAK Steel rebars as it is made by QST(Quenching and Self Tempering) process. Its microstructure makes it corrosion resistant even when imbedded in concrete.

›Earthquake resistant: RAK steel strength and ductility exceeds the minimum level specified by BS 4449:2005 making it deal for foundations of high rise buildings.

Product specifications:

BS 4449: 2005 Grade B500B*:

The BS 4449:2005 British Standard specifies requirements for ribbed wieldable reinforcing steel used for the reinforcement of concrete structures. The standard covers steel delivered in the form of bars, coils and decoiled products.  The standard contains provisions for three steel grades, all of 500MPa characteristic yield strength but with different ductility characteristics. The three grades are B500A, B500B and B500C.

 The weldability requirements for all grades of all steel are specified in terms of the chemical composition and in particular the carbon equivalent value. 

ASTM A-615 Grade 60*:

The ASTM A-615 specification covers deformed and plain carbon-steel bars for concrete reinforcement in cut lengths and coils. Materials considered under this specification are available in Grades 40 [280], 60 [420], and 75 [520]. Bars are of three minimum yield strength levels: namely, 40 000 [280 MPa], 60 000 [420 MPa], and 75 000 psi [520 MPa], designated as Grade 40 [280], Grade 60 [420], and Grade 75 [520], respectively.
