Features That Make TMT Saria (TMT bars) The Preferred Choice

TMT Saria

Earlier in India the houses were made using iron rods and concrete slabs. But the rods began to rust and this affected the structure stability in the long run. This required frequent repairs. This was due to the use of poor-quality materials used. The main reason behind the compromise of the structural integrity is the use of poor-quality building material.

There was a demand for solid and robust material which led to the introduction of TMT steel bars. Nowadays the TMT bars are used in the construction of houses, bridges, dams, railway tracks and more. The TMT bars have become a prominent material of building structures. The bars have become the backbone of our daily lives.

How are TMT bars manufactured?

The TMT bars are manufactured using  a process called Thermo Mechanical Treatment. Therefore they are called TMT bars. The process involves sponge iron making, casting, rolling, heat treatment, water quenching, self-tempering and atmospheric cooling. The TMT bars are also called TMT Saria.

The best TMT bars go through rigorous processes in advanced plants. This determines their physical and chemical properties. By using raw materials of high quality you can make quality TMT bars.

Features of TMT bars

The TMT bars have the following features:

• The raw materials used to make TMT bars aid in absorbing shocks due to earthquakes or floods. The flexibility comes from a special type of milling which involves heating the steel at high temperatures, rolling it as per the specifications and cooling it down quickly and suddenly.
• The bars are cost effective as they have high tensile strength and elongation value which means that less steel is required to build the same quantity of structure. This helps to reduce the shipping and storage costs.
• The bars have  a uniform ribber pattern which ensures excellent bonding with concrete. This results in a robust and stable structure.
• In the TMT bars the residual stresses are at negligible or minimum level to prevent rusting and micro-alloying. The state-of-the-art rolling technology used gives the bars excellent corrosion-resistance properties.
• Due to the high strength of the surface layer the bars can withstand dynamic loading. Therefore the bars can be used for super strong construction.
• The bars have high weldability which ensures that less usage of steel is required to make the bars. As the bars have a low corrosion rate they can last a life-time and they need not be replaced. This helps to save steel in the long run which is also better for the environment. Bars are sustainable and eco-friendly and therefore the best investment from the financial standpoint.
• The bars are manufactured using a high speed rolling mill and have close dimensional tolerances, superior surface finish, standard weight and uniform ribbed pattern. Strict quality control measures are used to ensure accuracy in dimension and quality.
• The basic structure of the building should hold up in case of a fire. The building material used should be heat-proof. The TMT bars have high thermal stability and can withstand high temperatures. The bars help to build reliable homes.
