steel rods

Iron-carbon alloy bars

Steel rods are long, cylindrical bars of steel used in construction, manufacturing, and reinforcement.

They strengthen concrete structures, serve as raw material for machining, or function as structural supports.

The contractor ordered steel rods for the foundation.

Rebar—reinforcing bar—is the most common type in building work.
