Project-Specific Sourcing
Galvanized Steel Fiber
Zinc-coated steel fiber configurations reviewed for project-specific exposure, appearance and corrosion-control objectives without assuming universal durability or reinforcement equivalence.
Project-Specific Sourcing
Coated steel
The zinc system must be identified
Galvanized steel fiber combines a steel core with a zinc-based coating. Coating method, mass or thickness, continuity, geometry and cut-end condition are product-specific and should be documented.
- Base wire and tensile properties
- Zinc coating description
- Fiber length, diameter and anchorage
- Concrete alkalinity and exposure
- Surface appearance requirements
- Storage and moisture protection
Selection questions
Coating does not remove the need for exposure design
The responsible project team should confirm whether a galvanized fiber and its documented coating are appropriate for the concrete environment.
Exposure classIdentify chlorides, moisture, chemicals and service life expectations.
Performance basisProvide geometry, dosage and residual or toughness requirements.
DocumentationSpecify coating, material and test evidence needed for approval.
Commercial scopeConfirm quantity, packaging, destination and project schedule.
