FusteelX Stainless Steel Post-Tensioning System is engineered to deliver reliable prestressing for concrete structures requiring high strength, exceptional durability and long-term performance in aggressive environments.
Manufactured from heat-treated 17-4PH precipitation-hardening stainless steel, the system combines an ultimate tensile strength exceeding 1,030 MPa with excellent corrosion resistance, outstanding fatigue performance and low relaxation characteristics. These properties ensure reliable prestress retention and long-term structural integrity throughout the design life of the structure.
Unlike conventional carbon steel post-tensioning systems that rely on external corrosion protection, FusteelX Stainless Steel Post-Tensioning System derives its corrosion resistance from the stainless steel itself. This significantly reduces inspection and maintenance requirements while extending service life and lowering whole-life costs, particularly in marine, coastal and other chloride-rich environments.
Key Benefits
- High Strength: Ultimate tensile strength exceeding 1,030 MPa for efficient prestressing and optimized structural design.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: High resistance to chlorides and aggressive environments for enhanced structural durability.
- Outstanding Fatigue Performance: Fatigue resistance exceeding 2 million load cycles at a stress range of 590–670 MPa, surpassing the requirements of ETAG 013.
- Low Relaxation: Typical stress relaxation of <3.0% after 1,000 hours, exceeding the requirements of prEN 10138 and ensuring reliable long-term prestress retention.
- High Anchorage Efficiency: Anchorage efficiency exceeding 95%, ensuring reliable load transfer and full utilization of the bar's tensile capacity,complies with ETAG 013.
- Stress Corrosion Resistance: Available in diameters from 20 mm to 75 mm and lengths up to 6 m. Longer lengths can be achieved using couplers, with customized sizes available upon request.
- Reduced Maintenance & Lower Whole-Life Cost: Available in diameters from 20 mm to 75 mm and lengths up to 6 m. Longer lengths can be achieved using couplers, with customized sizes available upon request.
