3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this Document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 38937 and the following apply.
3.1 Finishing rolling screw-thread steel bars
A hot-rolled straight steel bar with discontinuous external threads, which can be connected or anchored at any cross-section using a connector or anchor with matching internal threads.
3.2 Nominal circle area
The cross-sectional area of the steel bar excluding threads.
3.3 Coefficient of efficiency section
The ratio of the nominal circle area of a steel bar to its theoretical circle area (including the cross-sectional area of the thread).
4 Classification and Designation
4.1 Classification
The screw-thread steel bars for prestressing concrete are classified into two categories. finishing rolling screw-thread steel bars for prestressing and finishing rolling screw-thread steel bars for track panels. The finishing rolling screw-thread steel bars for prestressing are used as prestressing tendons in prestressed concrete structures; while finishing rolling screw-thread steel bars for track panels are used as non-prestressing tendons in prestressed concrete track panels.
4.2 Designation
The composition and meaning of steel bar designations are shown in Table 1.According to the purchaser's requirements, the designations with other strength levels of finishing rolling screw- thread steel bars for track panels can be provided beyond those listed in Table 1.

6.2 Delivery condition and delivery type
6.2.1 Finishing rolling screw-thread steel bars for prestressing shall be delivered in straight bars in hot-rolled condition, post-rolled residual heat-treated condition, or heat-treated condition.
6.2.2 Finishing rolling screw-thread steel bars for track panels shall be delivered in straight bars in hot-rolled condition.
7 Technical Requirements
7.1 Chemical composition
7.1.1 Chemical composition (smelting analysis) of finishing rolling screw-thread steel bars for
prestressing. Phosphorus and sulfur content shall not exceed 0.035%. The manufacturer shall select appropriate chemical compositions and alloying elements to ensure that finished steel bars produced through different processes meet the mechanical property requirements specified in 7.2.

screw-thread steel bars for track panels shall conform to the specifications in Table 2.V, Nb, Ti, and other elements may be added to the steel as needed.
7.1.3 The permissible deviation of the chemical composition of the finished steel bars shall comply with the provisions of GB/T 222.
7.1.4 The permissible deviation of the carbon equivalent Ceq of finishing rolling screw-thread
steel bars for track panels is +0.02%.
7.2 Mechanical properties
7.2.1 The characteristic values of mechanical properties of steel bars, such as lower yield strength ReL, tensile strength Rm, elongation after fracture A, and total elongation at maximum force Agt, shall comply with the provisions of Table 3.Table 3 lists the characteristic values of various mechanical properties, with stress relaxation performance being the maximum guaranteed value and the others being the minimum guaranteed values. ......
