Fort Miller contracted Salit Specialty Rebar to supply rebar forthe precast elements and Brooklyn Rebar for the castinplacereinforcement. For both contracts, SSR supplied approximately2,500 tons of XM28 UNS #S24100 N32, a high manganeselow nickel austenitic stainless steel for saltwater marineenvironments where reinforced concrete may be exposed tochlorides and other deicing salts. As of June 28, Brooklyn Rebar, LLC had taken delivery ofapproximately 60 tons for pier caps, 20 tons for an abutmentwall and 1,000 tons of deck bars (#4,5,6) for the Brooklyn sideof the structure.

Duplex 2205 is a twophase, ferritic, austenitic 22% chromium,3% molybdenum, 5 to 6% nickel alloyed stainless steel that isthe most widely used duplex stainless steel gradecharacterized by high yield strength. Duplex 2205 ischaracterized by good fatigue strength, as well as outstandingresistance to stress corrosion cracking, crevice, pitting,erosion, and corrosion in severe environments.

In 2015, two more machines were added to the facility'sproduction line to add more options for preassembled stainlesssteel products. The Radius Machine was purchased from R.M.S. to form aradius without prebending the bar and in most cases in a onestep operation. See the 1 min. 16 sec. demonstration about thefeatures of the machine at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1I9mvA_moU. The R.M.S. Spiral Machine spirals rebar without the need toprebend the leading end of the bar.

The other product is 4X4D4/D4 (gage) available as 6foot x 12foot mats. These sizesare the most popular in carbon mesh. All stainless wire mesh isbranded with "SALIT" so buyers know that the wire mesh theyare using is from a source in the Salit Group of Companies.

2304 Duplex |UNSS32304Stainless rebar adds to thedesign life of structures2304 Duplex |UNSS32304 stainless is a lean duplex stainlesssteel that has a microstructure consisting of austenite andferrite phases. This duplex microstructure and the chemicalcomposition of 2304 Duplex stainless results in an excellentcombination of strength and corrosion resistance.
The high strength capability of minimum yield strength of 75 ksi(518 MPa) for 2304 Duplex stainless rebar is an addedeconomical advantage. In the annealed and hot rolledconditions, 2304 Duplex stainless is ferromagnetic.
