Stainless steel reinforcing bar (ASTM A955) is an uncoated rebar with a service life of over 100 years and is ideal for highly corrosive environments. Stainless rebar is ideal for structures requiring an extremely long lifespan, like monuments or temples, or when you need non-magnetic reinforcement near equipment that is sensitive to magnetic fields, such as MRI machines.

Using a patented technology, we produce two grades of ChromX® reinforcing steel (ASTM 1035) suitable for highly corrosive environments with service lives of 40 to more than 100 years. Since ChromX® is an uncoated bar, it does not require special handling during fabrication or in the field. As a high-strength bar, it also reduces congestion problems and costs associated with installation and labor.

GalvaBar® (ASTM 1094/A and 1094M-16) is a galvanized rebar produced only by CMC that features a zinc alloy coating that is applied using a specialized process. Galvabar® provides the corrosion protection of zinc and the added benefit of exceptional fabricating capabilities. GalvaBar® can be bent and fabricated after the galvanizing without peeling or flaking

Galvanized rebar (ASTM A767) is another option for corrosion resistance. Galvanizing adds a coating of zinc to the bar extending the service life of the base steel underneath. Galvanized rebar has excellent bond characteristics to concrete and does not require special handling in the field.

Epoxy coated rebar (ASTM A775), also known as green bar, is used to reinforce concrete when it will be exposed to corrosive conditions such as deicing salts in colder climates or marine waters in coastal environments. Epoxy coated rebar is primarily used in bridges, marine structures, parking garages and pavement and has a 30- to 50-year service life. Epoxy coating patch kits are available for field repairs if surfaces are nicked or scratched. CMC Rebar operates eight epoxy coating facilities throughout the U.S. All our plants are CRSI certified ensuring our products adhere to the highest quality and all industry standards.

GalvaBar® is galvanized rebar with a zinc alloy coating that provides the well-known corrosion protection of zinc and is readily available in your existing rebar supply chain. GalvaBar® can be bent and fabricated after galvanizing without fear of peeling or flaking. A highly automated, streamlined continuous galvanizing process provides comprehensive quality assurance and significant cost efficiencies, including lower material and labor costs. With minimal exposure to the molten zinc bath, the GalvaBar® production process can be applied to all grades of steel, providing a consistent coating with no risk of embrittlement. GalvaBar® complies with ASTM standard A1094/1094M requirements for Continuous Hot-dip Galvanized Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement.

100 years. That’s the product service life of ChromX® 9100 (ASTM A1035-CS), a concrete reinforcing steel that is almost entirely resistant to corrosion. Scientifically engineered, ChromX® uncoated steel achieves its superior properties of corrosion resistance because of the patented steel microstructure that is formed during production. ChromX® concrete reinforcing steel exceeds project needs with innovation and precision and can be handled and fabricated like conventional rebar without the risk of damage, repair or inspection issues.

CryoSteel® is a specially engineered product that does not compromise performance when designing and building for extremely cold applications. This innovative cryogenic reinforcing steel, produced exclusively at CMC Steel's Arizona micro mill, is the only domestically produced carbon steel reinforcing product (rebar) that meets the design criteria of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage tanks and other cryogenic applications. CMC Steel’s advanced production process for CryoSteel® yields results that exceed minimum performance requirements for strength and ductility at low temperatures specified by the design engineer. CryoSteel® has been independently lab tested at temperatures down to -274°F (-170°C) to ensure it exceeds all specifications for most cryogenic applications. Since CMC will test CryoSteel® to the required design temperature for your specific project, you can design and build confidently, knowing you have a quality product that meets your project’s needs.
