Grade 40 VS grade 60 rebar

Grade 60 rebar have much more application than grade 40 rebar:- Grade 60 rebar is the most widely
used rebar grade in modern United states construction. Grade 60 steel is the most commonly used in
structures and concrete, as it’s not substantially more expensive than grade 40 steel, but offers much
more strength. Grade 40 steel is often used for things that do not require substantial structural strength.
And grade 60 have much more application than grade 40 rebar.

Minimum Yeild strength of grade 60 rebar is more than grade 40 rebar:- minimum yield strength of
grade 60 rebar is about 60ksi which is equal to 60000psi (pounds square inches) equivalent to 420 grade
of rebar in metric system, similar to 420MPa or 420N/mm2 as minimum yield strength, however
minimum yield strength of grade 40 rebar is about 40ksi which is equal to 40000psi (pounds square
inches) equivalent to 280 grade of rebar in metric system, similar to 280MPa or 280N/mm2 as minimum
yield strength.

Minimum ultimate tensile strength of grade 60 rebar is more than grade 40 rebar:- As ASTM A 615,
minimum ultimate tensile strength of grade 60 is about 90000psi or 90ksi, however, minimum ultimate
tensile strength of grade 40 is about 60000psi or 60ksi.

Grade 60 rebar is stronger than grade 40 rebar:- Due to high ultimate tensile strength and yield strength
in grade 60 rebar than 40, grade 60 rebar is stronger than grade 40 rebar.

Grade 40 rebar bend easily than grade 60 rebar:- Grade 40 rebar bend easily than grade 60 rebar upto
180° while testing.

Ductility of grade 40 rebar is more than grade 60 rebar:- Ductility is the property of steel reinforcement,
it is ability to drawn or plastically deformed without fracture, grade 40 rebar is highly ductile in nature
than grade 60 rebar.
