Rebar

admin

Recently, at the dog kennel and on a few YouTube videos I see shinny rebar welded as a grate or grilling surface, s that regular rebar with mill scale removed or stainless rebar? It looks good for a few projects. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Reply:Bluehunter40Stainless Steel rebar does exist, but good luck buying a few feet.Any project that uses it is buyingtruck load+ lots.Most likely it was salvaged by a rod-buster, or someone that waslucky at a select scrap-yard.I'd love to have a cache becauseit would generate projects due toits kitschy opulence.Opus

Reply:Yes when you buff off the old rust and scale it shines up real nice. Like a nickel color almost~1987 Lincoln Sa-200~~1978 Miller Big 40~ (restored) ~and everything inbetween~

Reply:Another option might be to have it electroplated.One of my instructors back in college worked on the design for the shark tanks for the Camden Aquarium years ago. All the rebar that went into the tanks was all 316 Stainless. As Opus said they got it by the truck load and it was NOT cheap!.No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.
