Mistake 1: Evaluating base price over actual weight and mass indicators. Lower-tier, sub-standard steel brands often roll bars with negative thickness tolerance, meaning you receive up to 10% less steel volume, leading to massive foundation load shortfalls in RCC structures.
Mistake 2: Failing to distinguish between Fe 500 and Fe 500D grades. While they both support 500 MPa yield limits, Fe 500D has strict upper thresholds for toxic phosphorus and sulfur content to sustain extreme emergency flexibility.
Mistake 3: Buying rusted stock from open yards. Slight atmospheric oxidation is normal, but deep corrosion reduces structural ribbed grip in concrete. Ensure your supplier keeps raw materials under industrial dry sheds.
