biotech Mechanical & Metallurgical Superiority

Produced through automated German-designed Quenching & Self-Tempering (QST) technology. Features an intensive tempered martensitic outer layer with exceptional ductility, fire resistance, and seismic energy dissipation.

architecture Excellent Bonding Ribs

Precisely shaped computer-controlled transverse ribs maximize anchorage in high-load concrete.

shield Micro-Alloyed Corrosion Resistance

Enriched with Cr, Mo, and Cu micro-alloys providing longevity in aggressive soils and coastal exposures.

handyman Superior Bendability & Weldability

Controlled low carbon equivalent (CEV ≤ 0.51%) ensures field bending without micro-fracturing or pre-heating.

local_fire_department Earthquake & Thermal Resistance

High uniform elongation (≥14%) retains structural stiffness during seismic tremors and thermal spikes up to 600°C.

Universal Tensile & Bend Testing

1000 kN calibrated hydraulic tensile machines test yield strength (Re ≥ 500 MPa), ultimate tensile stress (Rm), and uniform elongation (Agt ≥ 14%). Reverse bend tests confirm microstructural integrity.
