Galvanized Steel Rebar Description

Reinforced concrete is an important construction material. Highway bridges, car parks, houses, office buildings, gulleys are examples of reinforced concrete structures. In many cases, its steel reinforcement does not need any external corrosion protection to avoid corrosion. The highly alkaline environment of concrete forms a thin oxide layer on the steel surface which protects or “passivates” the steel against further corrosion.

Galvanized rebar is the new material that results after steel rods or wires are hot-dipped into zinc to create a protective coating. This coating protects the steel itself from the elements, making it stronger and more resistant to erosion.
