Macalloy 500

Macalloy 500 is a high-strength threaded reinforcing steel bar that can be used for applications requiring threaded joints like reinforced concrete and ground engineering. It is available in diameters from 20-75mm with yield strengths from 500-700 MPa. The bar has a hot-rolled thread along its entire length for robust connections using couplers or nuts. Accessories include flat nuts, round and hexagonal couplers to join bars for full-strength joints. Potential uses include shuttering ties, anchoring, rock bolts, and precast wall reinforcement.

Properties
Macalloy 500 bar is a high yield reinforcing steel, with hot rolled deformations specially designed to form a thread along the entire length of the bar. All bars up to 50mm are CARES approved to the Macalloy 500 specification. Bar diameters up to 40mm are also approved by CARES to the performance requirements of BS 4449. Macalloy 500 has been developed to offer a competitive, economical alternative to standard rebar in any application where threaded joints with couplers or nuts are required. For example: Reinforced concrete Ground Engineering

Bar lengths
The Macalloy 500 bar is available in standard lengths of 12m. Longer lengths are available as a special order. For more information contact our Sales Department.

Macalloy 500 bar is threaded along its entire length and can be trimmed on site as necessary. The thread form is a hot rolled intermittant thread of coarse pitch, except 63mm and 75mm, which is a continuous cold rolled thread. This gives a threaded bar which is: Robust Self-cleaning Easily assembled on site

Quality assurance
The bar and fittings are manufactured under a quality assurance system complying with BS EN ISO 9001 : 2000.

Threads

Welding of Macalloy 500


These bars can be welded using techniques appropriate to steel having a carbon equivalent of 0.51% maximum for diameters 20 - 50mm and 0.69% maximum for 63mm and 75mm diameter bars.

No additional threading operations are required

All couplers are available with and without central pinstops. Coupled joints: All bar diameters can be coupled to produce a full strength joint. The permanent elongation requirements over a mechanically coupled joint as specified in BS 8110 can be achieved through application of torque, to either the bars directly or the nuts. In such cases a machined coupler should be used. Further information can be obtained from the Macalloy Technical Department.

Other products within the Macalloy Ground Engineering range are: Macalloy 650 Stainless: A high strength continuously threaded bar system in Stainless Grades 304 and 316. It is available in lengths up to 6mm from stock in diameters 16 to 30mm. Fittings come as standard across the range. Diameters up to 48mm are available by request. Further details are available in the Macalloy 650 Brochure. Macalloy double corrosion protected ground anchors.
