Tmt Bars

TMT Bar stands for Thermo Mechanically Treated Bar which is obtained by a complicated mechanical process. Thermo mechanical treatment of steel or iron is a metallurgical process through which the properties of metals are reinforced in order to enhance life and tensile strength, and increase resistance to rusting and corrosion. It involves various simultaneous steps including heating and cooling. Through this treatment, the micro-structure of steel or iron is refined so that the bars acquire the aforementioned properties.

The technology employed for heating is known as hot rolling which can be undertaken to handle large quantity of steel simultaneously. Along with the heating treatment, continuous casting is performed to mould the molten metal into the desired form. Consequently, the TMT bar manufacturers mould into bars of different dimensions. A temperature range between 1200 – 1300°C is used for thermo mechanical treatment of metals.

Significant facts concerning TMT

The process ends up reinforcing the micro-structure of the metal, hence, resulting in high tensile strength and ductility.

• The outer core transforms into a strong material.
• Austenite forms acquired is much superior to ordinary steel.
• Extreme hardness obtained through a tightly controlled cooling process.
• Less brittle because of a low carbon ratio of 0.5%.
• The high tensile strength and ductility properties acquired through TMT process makes the bars suitable for various types of heavy duty applications.

Application of TMT Bars

TMT Bars are used for a wide range of applications in civil engineering sector. Some of these application areas are:

• Road construction
• Road and railway bridge concrete piling and span works
• Complex gas piping and water pipeline works
• Airport runway and tarmac
• Oil refineries
• All types of buildings
