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.

  1. ‘Fe’ means the iron. TMT bars are made of iron.
  2. “500” indicates the minimum yield stress is 500Nm/mm².
  3. “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.
  4. Tensile strength(Min) for Fe 500 is 545 N/mm² and for Fe 500D it is 565 N/ mm².
  5. Always ensure that the TMT bar you are buying has corrosion-resistance and a water protection coating.

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...

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. ...
