Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0060053A1] Concrete reinforcement is provided by means of stainless steel bar which has been cold worked by twisting. Austenitic stainless steel is most suitable but ferritic stainless steel may also be used. Even when a low molybdenum content of between 0.25% and 0.5% is used the resistance to corrosion and particularly chloride ion attack is satisfactory for concrete reinforcement requirements.
