ASTM A615 Reinforcing Bar Grade 60 Description

ASTM A615 steel rebar increases the tensile strength of concrete and can be used for both primary and secondary reinforcement. It helps absorb stress and weight and facilitates the even distribution of the tension caused by the expansion and contraction of concrete when it is exposed to heat and cold, respectively. ASTM A615 steel rebar has a rough, blue-grey finish with raised ribs throughout the bar. ASTM A615 grade 60 steel rebar offers enhanced yield strength of at least 60 thousand pounds per square inch, or 420 megapascals on the metric grading scale. It also features a continuous line system, with one line running along the length of the bar which is offset a minimum of five spaces from the center. These characteristics make Grade 60 Steel rebar particularly well-suited for medium to heavy-duty concrete reinforcement applications.

Scope of Application

Widely used in houses, bridges, roads, especially railways and other civil engineering.
