Basic information about TMT Bars Before You Buy Them

TMT bars are thermo-mechanically-treated bars used for providing high strength, ductility, and longevity to multiple construction projects such as buildings, dams, bridges, and so on. The quality of the TMT bars highly depends on the manufacturer, and therefore it is recommended to do your research well before buying TMT bars. One thing to keep in mind before purchasing TMT bars is that there are different kinds of zones, such as the seismic prone zone for which earthquake TMT bars are certainly the best, which include bars with the extension of S to them such as Fe 500S.

Types of TMT bars

TMT bars are available in a variety of grades that perform different functions. The options are as follows:

⮚     Fe 415 Grade

These bars are great for small-scale constructions such as residential homes and small-scale projects.

 

⮚     Fe 500 Grade

These TMT bars are mainly used for residential, commercial, and multi-story projects as they offer high seismic stability and ductility.

 

⮚     Fe 550 Grade

Fe 550 Grade TMT bars are suitable for large-scale constructions such as bridges and large-scale industrial projects.

 

⮚     Fe 600 Grade

These types of bars are considered to be the strongest of all. These can be used to construct towers, plants, commercial projects, expressways, metro projects, and so on.

Key features of TMT bars

The most prominent features of TMT bars include:

⮚     Elongation

The elongation percentage of TMT bars is very important as it plays an important role in the earthquake resistance function.

 

⮚     Ductility

A good TMT bar has high ductility, which is suitable for all kinds of zones.

 

⮚     Strength

One of the most basic functions of TMT bars is their strength. In addition, good quality TMT bars provide good tensile strength, which further increases the longevity of constructions.

Characteristics of good TMT bars:

Good quality TMT bars provide several benefits, which are listed below:

⮚     Prevention of structural damage

⮚     Longevity

⮚     Resistance to corrosion

⮚     Resistance to fire

⮚     Resistance to earthquake

⮚     Safety of structures

⮚     Good elongation percentage

⮚     Environment safe 

Buying tips:

⮚     If you are going to purchase TMT bars, make sure to buy from the brands availing to us the best TMT bars in India, such as JSWNEO Steel.

⮚     Make sure to examine the bars properly. Things you can look for include if all the bars are of the same length and if anything looks rusty or if the manufacturer’s seal is present.

⮚      It would be best to go through the grade, elongation percentage, and other basic things before actually making a purchase for TMT bars.
