Stainless Steel Rebar Build to Last 100+ Years
The ultimate defense against concrete spalling. Replace carbon steel in critical zones to eliminate corrosion maintenance for a century.
Stop Paying for Rust.
The "sticker price" of black steel is misleading. In corrosive environments, carbon steel requires patching, coating, or replacement every 15-20 years. Stainless rebar is a "install it and forget it" solution.
-
Initial Cost vs. Total Cost
Material cost is only ~5% of total project cost. Choosing stainless increases project budget slightly, but eliminates future maintenance.
-
Zero Downtime
Closing a bridge or pier for repairs costs millions in lost revenue and disruption. Stainless avoids these shutdowns.
-
Break-Even at Year 20
Once the first repair cycle hits carbon steel, stainless becomes the cheaper option forever.

Essentials
Never use black wire on stainless rebar.
Magnetic Permeability
Critical for MRI facilities, minesweepers, and electronics labs. Know the difference before you spec.
Austenitic grades (304/316) have very low magnetic permeability (< 1.02). However, heavy cold working or bending can induce slight magnetism.
Tensile Strength
Stainless rebar isn't just corrosion-resistant; it matches or exceeds the strength of standard carbon steel.
| Property | Austenitic (316) | Duplex (2205) |
|---|---|---|
| Yield Strength | 75 ksi | 95 ksi |
| Tensile Strength | 90 ksi | 105 ksi |
| Elongation | 30% (High Ductility) | 25% |
Built for Critical Infrastructure
Stainless rebar extends the life of concrete structures to 100+ years.
Bridges & Highways
Essential for decks exposed to de-icing salts. Duplex 2205 provides the high strength needed to reduce rebar congestion.
Marine Piers
The "Splash Zone" is the most corrosive environment on earth. Grade 316 prevents chloride pitting and concrete spalling.
MRI & Electronics
Medical imaging requires zero magnetic interference. Austenitic 304/316 rebar ensures equipment accuracy and safety.
Historic Restoration
Perfect for thin-cover applications in masonry repair. Prevents future rust expansion from cracking irreplaceable stone.
Custom Fabrication
Send us your drawings. We cut, bend, and thread to spec.
Precision Cutting
We stock standard 20' (6m) lengths, but can saw-cut to your exact project requirements for easier shipping and handling.
- Band Saw Cutting
- Tolerance: +/- 1/16"
- Clean / Deburred Ends
Rebar Bending
From simple 90° hooks to complex stirrups and spirals. We follow your rebar schedule (CAD) precisely.
- Standard Hooks (J/L)
- Stirrups & Ties
- Radius Bending
Threading
Mechanical splicing for extending rebar lengths. We machine threads to fit standard couplers and anchors.
- UNC / Metric Threads
- Coupler Supply
- Chamfering
Zero-Contamination Guarantee
Processing stainless steel on machines used for black steel causes rust. We use dedicated stainless steel tooling and handling equipment to ensure your rebar remains passive and corrosion-free.
Technical FAQ
Common questions from structural engineers and contractors.
Can I use black tie wire on stainless rebar?
Absolutely NOT. You must use stainless steel tie wire (typically 16ga).
