MILD STEEL (MS) Y-BAR (FOLDED / 12 METER)

The maximum stress applied before the steel bars start to convert their shape permanently is known as the yield strength of the steel bars. It is an approximation of the elastic limit of the steel.

If the steel does not reach the yield point even after adding stress to it, the bars will return to their original shape as soon as the stress is removed. On the other hand, when the stress exceeds the yield point, the steel bars cannot regain their original shape.

Yield strength is the upper limit of the load that is safely applied to the steel or any other metal; hence it becomes a vital number to be known when the components are designed.
