Compare / 500N (AS/NZS 4671) vs A615 Grade 60
500N (AS/NZS 4671) vs A615 Grade 60
AS/NZS 4671 · Steel
Australian and New Zealand rebar: 500 MPa characteristic yield, normal ductility — Rm/Re ≥ 1.08, Agt ≥ 5 %.
ASTM A615/A615M · Steel
The common US rebar: 60 ksi (420 MPa) yield. Not intended for welding; use A706 where welding or seismic ductility matters.
