Steel Rebar & Ribbed Steel Bar,HRB400、HRB400E、HRB500、HRB500E
1. Product Overview
Hot Rolled Ribbed Steel Bar (Rebar) is round steel bar with crescent longitudinal & transverse ribs on surface. The ribs greatly improve bonding force with concrete to prevent slip under load. Manufactured from vanadium micro-alloyed clean steel billets via controlled rolling & cooling process, it is divided into ordinary ribbed bar, seismic ribbed bar (suffix E) and fine grain seismic ribbed bar. It features stable yield strength, excellent cold bending, weldability and seismic elongation performance, serving as core load-bearing material for reinforced concrete structures. Widely applied in housing construction, bridges, tunnels, water conservancy and overseas civil engineering. Seismic grades meet code requirements for buildings in 6–9 degree seismic zones.

5. Complete Production Process
Molten steel refining → Continuous casting round billet → Heating in walking beam furnace at 1100–1200℃ → High pressure water descaling → Multi-pass rough, intermediate & finish rolling to form crescent ribs → Online controlled cooling for grain refinement → Uniform cooling on cooling bed → Straightening to eliminate bending → Fixed-length shearing / coiling → Sampling tensile, cold bending & seismic mechanical test per bundle → Steel marking with grade, heat batch & size → Strapping & palletizing for warehousing

HRB500E: Yield ≥500MPa, Tensile ≥630MPa, Elongation ≥15%, Agt≥9%, for long-span & ultra-high-rise heavy load structures
6.3 Surface & Rib Requirements
Continuous intact crescent ribs, free of missing ribs, cracks, scar & lamination; uniform hot rolling mill scale on surface without heavy oil or deep rust pits; specific projected rib area meets national standard for concrete bonding performance
6.4 Processing Performance
No cracks after 180° cold bending; low carbon equivalent, compatible with flash butt welding, lap welding & mechanical sleeve connection without brittle fracture during welding
7. Core Product Advantages
Strong concrete bonding via crescent ribs to avoid structural cracking & slipClosely interlocked with concrete for uniform load transfer, greatly improve overall building stability and prevent separation failure between rebar and concrete.
Qualified seismic indicators for all seismic fortification projectsHRB400E/HRB500E fully meet three mandatory seismic indexes, excellent deformation energy dissipation capacity under seismic load, compulsory for high-rises, bridges & tunnels.
Stable uniform performance via micro-alloying vanadium processVanadium refines grain structure with minimal mechanical fluctuation batch to batch, no aging embrittlement, stable performance for threading, welding & bending processing.
Full size coverage, straight & coiled rebar matching all construction scenariosSmall gauge coils for stirrups & floor slabs, heavy straight bars for beams & foundations, one-stop supply from residential buildings to large hydropower & high-speed railway bridges.
High strength grade reduces steel consumption & construction costHRB500E high strength rebar can replace HRB400E, less steel layout density under equal bearing capacity to save material & labor cost.
Sufficient spot stock & complete export customs clearance documentsRegular stock of Φ12–32mm 9m/12m straight bar & Φ6–10 coil rebar; supply SGS, CE & original MTC for bulk container export to overseas infrastructure projects.
