    This document provides information on ASTM A1035 corrosion resistant and high strength reinforcing steel. It discusses the history and increasing strength of reinforcing steel standards over time. ASTM A1035, known as MMFX or ChromX, is a deformed and plain steel that offers strengths up to 120 ksi and corrosion resistance through its unique microstructure of martensite and retained austenite. Guidelines for the use of A1035 Grade 100 steel in design are outlined. The document explains the composition and properties that make A1035 different than conventional reinforcing steel in providing corrosion resistance. Specifications for the use, fabrication, and cost of A1035 steel are also covered.

    What makes ChrōmX steel different from other rebar?
    ChrōmX micro-structure prevents conventional steel corrosion mechanisms

    Typical Steel Microstructure ChrōmX Microstructure


    Mild steel’s microstructure is a
    mix of ferrite and iron carbide Retained (untransformed)
    austenite nano-sheets (green)
    Together in the presence of
    moisture, chlorides & oxygen, the
    ferrite and iron carbide form Dislocated laths of
    galvanic cells (like batteries), martensite (grey)
    which accelerate the process of
    corrosion from the inside out

    Carbide Typical

    Grain boundary
    with carbides

    retained austenite achieves high strength with
    Ferrite ductility
