Latest News and Developments:
Thermo mechanically treated bar (TMT bar) is a high strength steel reinforcement bar used in concrete structures. It is produced by passing hot rolled steel through a controlled cooling process, which forms a hard outer surface and a softer ductile core. This structure gives the bar high tensile strength, good elongation, bendability, and improved resistance to seismic stress. TMT bars are mainly composed of iron with controlled levels of carbon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus, and other alloying elements depending on grade requirements. They are widely used in residential buildings, bridges, dams, highways, tunnels, industrial plants, and other reinforced concrete applications. Their ribbed surface improves bonding with concrete, making them essential in modern construction.
