Plain rebar, also known as smooth rebar or mild steel round bar, is a reinforcing steel product with a completely smooth surface. It is primarily used in construction and industrial applications where a strong mechanical bond with concrete is not necessary. Made from low-carbon steel such as Grade A1 or ST37, plain rebar offers excellent ductility, high flexibility, and outstanding weldability, making it a preferred choice for shaping and fabricating in various projects. Available in diameters ranging from 6 mm to 40 mm, it is commonly supplied in straight lengths of 6 meters or 12 meters, with some variations available in coils.
Plain Rebar
Plain rebar (smooth round bar) is a low-carbon steel reinforcement (ST37/Grade A1) with excellent weldability and ductility (300-500 MPa tensile strength). Ideal for applications where mechanical bonding with concrete isn’t required, it’s supplied in 6-40mm diameters and 6m/12m lengths.
