Steel coils Explained: Specifications, Grades & Applications

Steel coils is a core reinforcement product supplied across construction and infrastructure. Specify it by size, grade/standard and finish, and it ships mill-certified with full traceability.

Straight bar runs Ø8–40 mm in 6–12 m lengths; small diameters Ø6–16 mm are available in coil. Welded mesh spans A142–A393.

B500B (DIN 488/EN 10080) is the European default — 500 N/mm² yield, ductility class B, fully weldable. B500C adds high ductility (Agt ≥7.5%) for seismic work; Grade 60 (ASTM A615) is the 420 MPa class common in the Gulf and Americas. Every shipment ships with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate tied to the heat number, recording chemistry, tensile results and bend/rebend tests — your full traceability chain.

Bulk moves by full truck (≈24 t), 20–25 t container, or break-bulk for large parcels; Incoterms are typically FOB, CFR or CIF. Wholesale rebar prices track regional mill lists and scrap (HMS) indices, not one world price. European B500B has moved broadly in a €550–800/t ex-works band in recent years with scrap, energy and demand. Consolidating steel coils with your other reinforcement into one certified shipment cuts cost and coordination.
