Why TMT Bars Are Used in Construction

Manufacturing Process

The making of RDTMT’s TMT bars involves three key stages:

1. Hot Rolling: Steel billets are heated to around 1,200 °C and passed through rolling mills.
2. Rapid Quenching: The hot bars’ outer layer is hardened immediately by high-pressure water jets.
3. Self-Tempering: Residual core heat tempers the outer layer, balancing strength and ductility.

Key Features

1. High tensile strength
2. Excellent ductility
3. Improved weldability
4. Enhanced corrosion resistance
5. Superior concrete adhesion

Strength and Durability Benefits

High Tensile Strength

RDTMT TMT bars support heavier loads with less steel and boost overall structural integrity.

1. Ability to support heavier loads
2. Reduced steel consumption
3. Improved structural integrity

Excellent Ductility

The ability to deform without breaking helps structures absorb energy during stress.

1. Improved earthquake safety
2. Even distribution of stresses
3. Increased energy absorption

Corrosion Resistance

A dense protective outer layer and low porosity extend the lifespan of reinforced structures.

1. Longer-lasting structures
2. Reduced maintenance costs
3. Higher durability in harsh environments

Earthquake Resistance

1. Absorbs seismic shocks thanks to superior flexibility
2. Distributes load evenly during tremors
3. Enhances overall building stability
