ZapSib produces new type of rebar

West-Siberian Steel Works (ZapSib), a subsidiary of the Russian steel and iron ore producer Evraz Group, has started production of a new rebar type - a thermomechanically treated, cold-resistant rebar in compliance with strength class Ac500C, in 10-14 mm diameter sizes. The new type of rebar is used in the construction of buildings which require the application of steel of increased strength; for instance, in the building of nuclear and hydroelectric power plants and railway bridges, especially when such constructions are located in climates where temperatures are extremely low or in seismically active zones. The new type of rebar shows high strength properties under low temperatures, is dynamic and able to withstand repeated stress loads.
