Clad steel roiled section suitable for reinforcing concrete is disclosed,
which is produced from a bimetallic ingot comprising a basic material
containing a group of alloy elements including Si and Al, and a surface
layer of a ferritic or austenitic stainless steel containing a group of
alloy elements including Cr and Ni, by hot rolling the ingot to an
intermediate billet and a rolled section, and subjecting the rolled
section to heat treatment. A feature of the reinforcing clad steel rolled
products is that the basic material is steel containing, in percent by
weight, from 1.0 to 5.0 Si and from 0.1 to 5.0 Al, with the proviso that
3.0.ltoreq.(Si+Al).ltoreq.6.0. The reinforcing clad rolled products
exhibit superior mechanical strength and impact toughness, improved
corrosion resistance and high bond strength between the layers and with
concrete. The clad rolled products are produced by a method involving
making a bimetallic bar with a stainless steel surface layer, hot rolling
the bar in several passes by calibrated rolls, the final rolling being
effected by calibrated rolls with corrugated surface observing the
relationship:

where H.sub.o is the maximum depth (height) of corrugations on the roll
surface, d is the bar diameter, .psi. is the relative thickness of the
stainless layer.
