MMFX Technologies Corporation Receives Unprecedented ASTM Specification; MMFX Microcomposite Steel Rebar Qualifies with Minimum Yield Strength of 100,000 psi.IRVINE, Calif. -- MMFX Technologies Corporation, a materials science materials science Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material's composition and structure, both macroscopic and microscopic. company that has invented and patented world-changing breakthroughs in materials sciences, has received the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM ASTM abbr. American Society for Testing and Materials ) specification for the highest minimum yield strength per square inch for standard reinforcing steel bars. MMFX, an emerging leader in the development of new technologies that are producing, among other things, the next generation of steel products, drafted the specification: the ASTM A1035-04 Low-Carbon, Chromium steel bars for concrete reinforcement at 100,000 pounds per square inch Noun 1. pounds per square inch - a unit of pressure psi pressure unit - a unit measuring force per unit area (psi). The new ASTM specification enables structural engineers to change the way buildings, highways, and bridges are designed and built. The added strength of steel meeting this specification results in a significant decrease in the amount of conventional steel necessary to accomplish the same task. Engineers can design structures with less congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. . By using the higher yield strength steel of 100 ksi over conventional Grade 60 steel, construction projects can be completed with 20 to 40% less steel and 20 to 50% lower labor costs (placement and fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. ).
