Reinforcing rods, more commonly known among tradesmen as "Re-Bar" can be used in all manor of construction projects. When you hear someone call a road "metalled", they are refering to the re-bar it is built on. Re-bar generally comes in lattices, but one length of bar can be used by itself, depending on what it is reinforcing. Kerb-stones all contain re-bar, as do all modern concrete lintels. Many tall buildings are laced with it from floor to ceiling. Its primary function is to reinforce concrete. The re-bar is suspended in a mould and concrete is poured around it. It is unusual and extremely difficult to insert a re-bar into concrete that has already set.

What happens to the rod when it is rub by nylon?
Oh, dude, when you rub a rod with nylon, it transfers some of its electrons to the rod, giving it a negative charge. This is because nylon has a higher affinity for electrons than the rod. So yeah, the rod gets all charged up and ready to party with some static electricity.
Best tig rod for aluminum?
The best type of filler rod to use on Aluminum depends entirely on the type of aluminum to be welded, (ie, the parent metal) Although just about any aluminum rod will do the trick, There are two main types to consider: Magnesium alloy and Silica alloy. You will need to find out the chemical composition of the parent metal to choose correctly. There are also things to consider like rod diameted vs thickness of plate or pipe to be welded.. So if you can be more specific with the Q, I can add more.
