Definition and Types of TMT Bars:

TMT Bars:

TMT means Thermo Mechanical Treatment, which is a thermo mechanical process made using heat treatment as well as mechanical deformation applied to construction bars to enhance their tensile strength and stress resistance. These TMT steel bars are generally used material in construction for enhanced protection against earthquake and another type of natural disasters. To ensure safety for your structure TMT steel bars should be resistant to corrosion which helps to obtain a longer life to your structure.

Different Types Of TMT Bar Grades:

Fe-500 Grade TMT Steel bars:

Here Fe indicates the chemical representation of iron. Due to its great bending ability and excellent resistance of dynamic loading, it was replaced with the Fe-415 grade. It is used in RCC constructions in buildings, bridges and other concrete structures.

Fe-550 Grade TMT Steel bars:

It has similar properties of Fe-500, but it differs in the yield and tensile strength. It is used in RCC construction that is exposed to coastal, marine or underground environment.
