Dowel Bars – Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel Dowel Bars
The excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel dowel bars eliminates the risk of structural damage due to rust and the need for costly refurbishment that can arise as a result. When compared with the costs associated with the use of carbon steel, stainless steel can reduce total lifetime costs significantly. Dowel bars are normally made from plain round steel. They are cast or drilled into concrete and are used to transfer loads across joints in concrete. In applications where movement is expected, the dowel bar is cast in one side and de-bonded in the other side of the joint.
