Steel fiber is chips or pieces of low-carbon metal wire with a diameter of 0.75 to 1 mm and a length of 50 to 60 mm. Due to the structure of the structure of the ends, it is used for strong and rigid concrete reinforcement.
Steel fiber for concrete from the producer the Grid the West
The products are manufactured by a machine of different brands according to GOST standards. The technology corresponds to the following TU: TU U 28.7-05393145-004: 2005, TU U B.2.7-28.7-00191046-015: 2007.
According to the physical parameters, the material meets such characteristics of the norm as: temporary tensile strength - not less than 1100 MPa and modulus of elasticity - not less than 190000 MPa.
Milled cutter makes a low-carbon steel section of a slab of triangular, round, or wavy shape with a rough surface.
In the price lists of the manufacturer Sitka Zahid you can find different types and types, photos of which you can see on the website:
- wavy;
- flat;
- metal;
- steel anchor.
Technical characteristics of fiber
The plant expands the products it offers to customers: galvanized and non-galvanized, where there is a coating or not. There are also many videos where it is possible to get an answer to the question: homemade fiber from the tape for the screed what it is and how to make it yourself.
Products are often compared to reinforced mesh https://sitkazahid.com/en/catalog/armopoyas-grid/c288 . What makes metal fiber better than reinforcement?
The key to successful construction of any building is the foundation. Use for reinforcement allows to reduce financial and time costs and to reduce its thickness, thus receiving not less qualitative result. The foundation was repeatedly compared with reinforcement and fiber and unanimously came to the conclusion that the latter are stronger, crack- and wear-resistant. High-strength wire fiber is a profitable alternative to traditional reinforcement.
The most in demand are options with the following parameters:
- diameter from 0,75 to 1 mm;
- length from 50 to 60 mm;
- diameter of a head of 1,8 mm;
- taper 700.
Stainless steel products are delivered in a box made of corrugated cardboard. The package comes in a box with 10,15,20, 25 kg.
Where anchor fiber is used
Steel sheet fiber performs its main purpose - to withstand high loads. Created for the manufacture of such objects as:
- seamless and industrial self-leveling floors;
- walls of pools;
- equipment foundation;
- for a coupler;
- airfield runways;
- fiber cement panels (slabs);
- expressways;
- bridge construction;
- production of paving slabs;
- coastal structures;
- for dry mixes of construction;
- seismic and refractory component for foam concrete is made;
- for decorative products;
- use as a part of a solution for a laying;
- suspension and support panels;
- for shotcreting - application of a concrete layer on the surface of reinforced concrete structures;
- in road construction;
- piles;
- concrete floors for parking lots;
- concrete fences;
- plates for monuments.
Advantages of steel fiber
The application contains more advantages in comparison with usual concrete reinforcement as it reduces a thickness of a coupler with preservation of necessary functions of a bearing plate. There are two groups of advantages: technological and financial, the description of which is given below.
Technological properties:
- high resistance to static and dynamic loading, blows;
- crack resistance;
- resistant to moisture;
- unpretentious in care, does not need repair and reconstruction;
- duration of operation;
- strength;
- frost resistance;
- water resistance;
- gives rigidity of material;
- resistance to seismological influences;
- vibration resistance.
Economic characteristics:
- budget cost;
- saving of materials;
- reducing the complexity of the process;
- fast laying with economy of human resources.
Recommended dosage and consumption of fiber per m3
Steel fiber should be used in the right doses to get the desired effect. The amount per cubic meter of mixture depends on the field of operation.
After analyzing the cost per 1 m3 of concrete and the proportions, we can say that the stronger the load is planned during operation, the more material per cube to use. For example, for the construction of a house, laying the floor is used less than for the construction of roads or tunnels.
Anchor fiber for concrete is added to the finished mixture, preventing the material from getting lumps. To add to concrete, do it in small portions and mix thoroughly.
Pricing and delivery
Every client who is planning concreting or dispersed reinforcement is interested in metal fiber for concrete, price per kg or per ton, and how to make the strongest masonry. The cost depends on the thickness of the wire and its length, the weight of the material is smaller, the cheaper the product.
