TS/YS ratio
Tensile strength divided by yield (or 0.2% proof) stress of a steel. A higher ratio means more strain-hardening and ductility; IS 1786 sets a minimum for each rebar grade.
- Also: tensile to yield ratio
- Also: Rm/Re ratio
Tensile strength divided by yield (or 0.2% proof) stress of a steel. A higher ratio means more strain-hardening and ductility; IS 1786 sets a minimum for each rebar grade.
