TMT bars or Thermo-Mechanically Treated bars are high-strength reinforcement bars having a tough outer core and a soft inner core. The very first step of the manufacturing process involves passing the steel wires through a rolling mill stand. Thereafter, these rolled steel wires are again passed through the Tempcore water cooling system. While passing the wires through the water cooling system, the water pressure is optimised. The sudden quenching and drastic change in temperature toughen the outer layer of the steel bar, thus making it super tough and durable.
Once this process is over, the TMT bars are subject to atmospheric cooling. This is done in order to equalise the temperature difference between the soft inner core and the tough exterior. Once the TMT bar cools down, it slowly turns into a ferrite-pearlite mass. The inner core remains soft giving the TMT bar great tensile strength and elongation point. This design is unique to the TMT bars and gives superior ductility to the bars. Also, this unique manufacturing technique and the absence of Cold stress make this bar corrosion-resistant and boost its weldability.
550 Grade ISI TMT
Power Steel 550D TMT bars aids in more safer, stronger and secured foundation for all kinds of projects.
Low carbon content and made from fully killed steel. Easy bendability, weldability and excellent ductility ensures economy and safety of use.
In-built ability to resist loss of strength at higher temperature.
Require less energy for bending and re-bending along with superior reverse bending properties.
SPECIFICATIONS
Power Steels TMT bars are produced from Fe 500 & Fe 500D IS: 1786 grade billets, with carbon levels maintained much lower than the ISI specification which results in excellent ductility, high bendability, better corrosion resistance and superior weldability.
