The production of quality TMT bar depends on three major factors - quality
raw materials, a properly designed and automated mill, and a welldesigned quenching and tempering technology. All rebars must be
purchased based on the properties of yield strength, tensile strength and
elongation values.
Deciding the percentage of carbon content in steel has been a major
challenge for engineers. While a minimum level of carbon content in steel
is essential to achieve the required strength, excess carbon threatens its
weldability. In TMT bars, this problem has been eliminated by restricting
the carbon content to 0.2 per cent to attain weldability and ensuring that
its strength is not lost. The joints can be welded by ordinary electrodes
and no extra precautions are required.
The bars come in different lengths, in sizes of 11 to 12 metres and can be
customised to the required specifications. TMT bars that have uniform and
concentrated hardened periphery and the softer core will have the desired
tensile strengths coupled with high elongation as required in seismic
zones. Depending on the size and grade, rebars with hardened periphery
of about 15 to 30 per cent of the cross sectional area of the bar are ideal
for civil constructions (constructions of houses, offices, etc.)
