What kind of Bar is a TMT bar?
TMT bars or Thermo-Mechanically Treated bars are high-strength reinforcement bars having a tough outer core and a soft inner core. The very first step of the manufacturing process involves passing the steel wires through a rolling mill stand. Thereafter, these rolled steel wires are again passed through…
What’s the difference between TMT and hysd steel bars?
Due to the ductile microstructure and a hard crystalline exterior surface of TMT bars, TMT bars have a stronger external layer as compared to HYSD steel bars. TMT bars have less residual stresses and higher tensile strength than HYSD bars because TMT bars do not undergo any physical deformation, unlike HYSD bars.
Why are TMT bars used in SRMB buildings?
SRMB TMT bars have greater shock-absorbing capacity when compared to other TMT bars. This prevents the collapse of a building during an earthquake and ensures the longevity of the structure. Compared to ordinary steel bars, the same quantity of TMT bars can provide 20% additional strength to the structure.
What does TMT stand for in construction category?
WHAT IS TMT BAR? TMT means Thermo Mechanical Treatment, which is a thermomechanical process; These TMT steel bars are generally used material in construction for enhanced protection against earthquake and another type of natural disasters.
Why are SRMB TMT bars safe to use?
The Thermal stability of SRMB TMT bars is high which makes them safe from any fire accidents. The special ribbed design of the SRMB TMT bars form a stronger bond with the concrete or cement, thus, provides additional support and strength to the building structure and improves their longevity and durability.
What is the difference between TMT and twisted rebars?
TMT and twisted rebars are different in the way they are made, although both are high strength reinforcing bars. Twisted rebars are basically done with older technology process of cold twisting, whereas TMT bars use modern day hot twisting technology.
