HRB400 HRB500 Steel Rebar - GB Certified Manufacturer
As a GB/T 1499.2-certified HRB400 HRB500 steel rebar manufacturer, we supply deformed reinforcing bars engineered to meet the most demanding structural requirements across civil, infrastructure, and industrial construction projects worldwide. HRB400 and HRB500 are China's two most widely specified hot-rolled ribbed bar grades, recognized for their superior bond strength, consistent mechanical performance, and compliance with rigorous national standards. Our integrated steel mill operates continuous casting and controlled rolling lines, enabling us to deliver rebar in diameters ranging from 6 mm to 50 mm with dimensional tolerances held to within ±0.4 mm. Whether your project demands seismic-grade reinforcement for high-rise frames, large-diameter bars for bridge piers, or standard structural rebar for residential foundations, our production capacity of over 800,000 metric tons per year ensures reliable supply continuity and mill-direct rates that outperform trading-house pricing.

What is HRB400 HRB500 Steel Rebar?
HRB400 and HRB500 are hot-rolled ribbed reinforcing bar grades defined under Chinese standard GB/T 1499.2. The numeric suffix denotes the characteristic yield strength: 400 MPa for HRB400 and 500 MPa for HRB500. Both grades feature transverse and longitudinal ribs that enhance mechanical interlock with concrete, making them the preferred choice for reinforced concrete structures where load-bearing integrity and crack resistance are paramount. HRB500 delivers a higher strength-to-weight ratio, enabling material savings of up to 12–15% compared with HRB400 in equivalent structural designs.
HRB400 HRB500 Steel Rebar Technical Specifications
Our rebar is produced in strict accordance with GB/T 1499.2-2018 and can be dual-certified to ISO 6935-2 upon request. Each heat is accompanied by mill test reports covering chemical composition, mechanical properties, and bend test results. Key parameters are summarized in the table below.

| Parameter | HRB400 | HRB500 |
| Standard | GB/T 1499.2-2018 | GB/T 1499.2-2018 |
| Yield Strength (ReL) | ≥ 400 MPa | ≥ 500 MPa |
| Tensile Strength (Rm) | ≥ 540 MPa | ≥ 630 MPa |
| Elongation after Fracture (A) | ≥ 16% | ≥ 15% |
| Rm/ReL Ratio | ≥ 1.25 | ≥ 1.25 |
| Carbon Equivalent (Ceq) | ≤ 0.54% | ≤ 0.55% |
| Available Diameters | 6 – 50 mm | 6 – 50 mm |
| Standard Length | 6 m / 9 m / 12 m (custom) | 6 m / 9 m / 12 m (custom) |
| Density | 7.85 g/cm³ at 20°C |
| Surface Condition | Hot-rolled ribbed (deformed bar) |
| Weldability | Suitable for flash butt, arc, and resistance welding |
Both grades carry outstanding anti-corrosion properties relative to plain carbon bars, owing to controlled micro-alloying with vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), or titanium (Ti). HRB400E and HRB500E seismic variants are also available, featuring a maximum ReL ≤ 1.30 × nominal yield and Rm/ReL ≥ 1.25 for earthquake-resistant design compliance.
