One of the materials most used in the construction of reinforced concrete buildings and foundations is A500C class reinforcement. The scope of its application is very extensive - from the reinforcement of simple reinforced concrete products to the strengthening of load-bearing structures. The letter A denotes a variety - in this case it is a hot-rolled rod, thermally and mechanically reinforced. The high strength of the material, achieved through a complex processing process, makes the scope of its application so extensive. The number 500 reports the yield strength of the rods. This indicator is one of the most important for the material. It shows how much load it can withstand without harm to itself. If the load exceeds the limit, then irreversible consequences occur in the metal, affecting the crystal structure. As a result, reliability and service life are significantly reduced. Therefore, the choice should be approached with particular care, pre-calculating the maximum loads that the S500 reinforcement will have to withstand. Finally, according to the letter C, it can be established that the material is weldable. Not all analogues have this property. After all, welding is accompanied by a sharp increase in temperature, due to which the crystal structure of the metal is disturbed - subsequently, its strength decreases at the welding points. With significant loads in these areas, the probability of breakage is highest. In addition, these areas are the most vulnerable to corrosion. So, welding of reinforcement is strictly prohibited. Because of this, when working with most varieties of metal rods, you have to use a special wire and knitting tool. But if you chose A500C rods, then you don’t have to worry - you can cook reinforcement of this brand without harm to it. Steel grade: А500С GOST: GOST 34028-2016 LxWxH: 11700x10x10 mm
