Galvanised Reinforcing Bar

Neumann Steel takes immense pride in being 100% Australian owned and operated

If your next project requires something tougher than steel, galvanised bar could be the solution.

Galvanised bar is used in construction projects that require steel reinforcing to resist corrosion and make it more durable.

If your next project requires something tougher than steel, galvanised bar could be the solution. Galvanised bar is used in construction projects that require steel reinforcing to resist corrosion and make it more durable.

Typically, this includes projects where steel reinforcing is exposed to environmental factors that might accelerate corrosion on a regular steel bar, like areas with higher salt levels. Otherwise, galvanised bar is used when added durability is called for.

At Neumann Steel, our expertise in manufacturing and supplying certified concrete reinforcing steel products and related accessories puts us ahead of the rest. We understand the best applications for galvanised rebar or galvanised steel and can work with you to ensure you have the right solution.

Read on to determine whether galvanised bar is the best product for your next project.

How Galvanised Steel Bars Are Made?

What is Galvanised Steel Bar and How Is It Made?

Galvanised steel bars are designed to offer enhanced protection compared to bare steel reinforcement bars, which rely on the surrounding concrete for defense against the elements. Galvanisation involves applying a zinc coating to steel, providing an additional layer of protection through a chemical process.

Common Methods of Galvanising Steel Bars

At Neumann Steel, we typically use the hot dip galvanising process. This method involves immersing carbon steel bars into molten zinc, usually heated to around 360 degrees Celsius. As the steel is removed from the molten zinc, it reacts with the oxygen, forming an iron-zinc alloy that bonds the zinc to the steel bar.

The benefits of galvanised steel bar

As a more durable solution, a galvanised bar offers many unique advantages. Consider how this type of steel reinforcement could assist your next construction project.

Highly resistant to corrosion

Powerful resistance to chloride salt attacks

Bars cannot be affected by concrete carbonation

Bars can be cut and bent after galvanising

Resists corrosion and prevents undercutting of the coating, meaning any corrosion risk only occurs to the exposed steel
