All Types of TMT bars and it's Uses in Construction

Having some sort of an understanding about the different TMT bars is very important. They are the foundation for any construction work. No project is complete without the use of different TMT bars. Having a clear understanding about the different kinds of TMT bars is very important since it helps make your project better.  TMT is a type of steel that has several different variations. These variations are for different purposes. These variations all help build projects. Fe 415 grade This is a relatively cheaper version of the TMT bars . The speciality about this bar is that it can be bent into complex shapes and structures. It is perfect for small scale and small load construction. It is used mostly in residential areas or houses. Due to their elongation and bending properties, they are used dominantly in areas prone to earthquakes. This is one of the most used TMT bars for small scale construction. They are very strong and very suited for earthquake-prone regions....

Which TMT bars are best for commercial houses in India?

There are 4 main grades   Fe 415, Fe 500, Fe 550, & Fe 600 . According to the IS: 1786 both Fe 500 and   Fe 500D   are grade TMT steel bars are best for the construction of commercial buildings in India. Let’s decode the grades. ‘Fe’ means the iron. TMT bars are made of iron. “500” indicates the minimum yield stress is 500Nm/mm². “D” in Fe 500 D indicates the ductility. That means these steel bars have a higher percentage of elongation or seismic resistance. Fe 500D and Fe 500 has enhanced specified minimum percentage elongation of 16% and 12% respectively. So, Fe 500 D is more suitable for construction in earthquake zones 3, 4 & 5. Tensile strength(Min) for Fe 500 is 545 N/mm² and for Fe 500D it is 565 N/ mm². Always ensure that the TMT bar you are buying has corrosion-resistance and a water protection coating.

Why TMX Steel Bars Are better Than TMT Steel Bars?

  TMX and TMT Bars bear  very prominent ribs that give them improved adhesiveness, and provide the construction with higher strength and a longer life with improved resistance during earthquakes and other natural calamities. TMX bars have proven more heat resistance over  TMT bars  during fires. TMX bars are better than TMT bars but from cost point of view, where you do not need fire proof structures like water tank, compound walls. TMX (Thermax powered) steel is a high quality TMT steel bar, have a definite advantage over TMT Bars in terms of superior properties, such as weldability, strength, are more ductile and tensile. Thermex has low carbon percentage i.e., 0.15% , whether TMT Steel carbon percentage: 0.30%. That’s TMX bar is less corrosion prone than TMT bars. Thermex bars also has higher elongation i.e., 16 – 23% (TMT Steel – 14.5%),. This provides better resistance over earthquakes and other natures hazards. TMX Bars are produced only from MS Billet. But TM...

8 Reason Why TMT not HYSD?

  TMT bars do not surface flaws when compared with HYSD bars as unlike HYSD bars, as the manufacturing process in the TMT bars does not involve twisting or torsional stress. TMT Bars consume upto 17% to 20% less amount of steel than HYSD Bars. TMT bars come with a stronger external layer, something which is missing in HYSD due to ductile nature of the core and hard crystalline surface of TMT steel. When compared with TMT bars, HYSD bars cannot provide flexibility and ductility, thus limiting their use in different types of construction works. TMT bars are effective in earthquake- prone areas and withstand better with sudden earthquake schoks and absorption when compared with HYSD bars. TMT bars are lighter in weight compared to HYSD bars, so the transportation cost of TMT bars are low. In HYSD Bars residual stress is high and tensile strength is low that causes deformation. In TMT Bars residual stress is low and tensile strength is high for which it do not undergo any deformation. ...

Tufcon - Only Steel For Tough Construction

Only Steel For Tough Construction- Steel is a major strength contributor in every r.c.c structure. We should always go for a high quality TMT bar. But in India we always look for cheaper price with maximum quality. There is new brand TUFCON which we can consider the brightest one among new players in east Indian steel market. There are some definite reasons which make it a deserving brand for the tag of “ only steel for tough construction”. Why Tufcon is the Only Steel For Tough Construction- 1. Tufcon products are made by German Tempcore Technology, which makes it a quality steel product. 2. Tufcon never compromises on purity of raw materials. 3. There is a team of experienced manpower who always check all the qualities of manufactured products before the final delivery. 4. Tufcon is India’s only FE-600 TMT Rebar manufacturer with the highest corrosion resistance which makes it a visionary organization.  5. If you belong to Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, B...
