Steel fiber refers to discrete, small pieces of steel that provide reinforcement in composite materials. These fibers are typically used to increase durability, reduce cracking, and enhance overall performance in concrete structures. The necessity of steel fiber stems from its ability to improve tensile strength, ductility, and post-crack load-bearing capabilities, which are essential in infrastructure, construction, as well as industrial applications like tunnels, bridges, and slabs. The end-use scope primarily includes construction, infrastructure projects, and industrial applications, with growing demand attributed to rapid urbanization and the rising trend towards sustainable building solutions.
