Note: 1. The grade of hot-rolled ribbed steel bars is composed of HRB and the minimum yield point of the grade. H, R, and B are the first letters of the three words hot-rolled (H0tr011ed), ribbed (Ribbed), and bars (Bars) respectively. Hot-rolled ribbed steel bars are divided into three grades: HRB 335, HRB 400, and HRB 500. 2. The carbon equivalent Ceq (%) value can be calculated as follows:Ceq=Wc+WMn /6+(WCr+WV+WMO)/5+(WCu+WNi)/15Wc and WMn are the mass fractions of C and Mn respectively. |
