The Need for Strengthened TMT Bars
The Need for Strengthened TMT Bars
There has been a paradigm shift in the outlook towards reconstruction steel. Around the world, especially in developed countries like the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, China, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, there has been an upgrade to higher grades of steel.

Due to the scarcity of space, there is a spurt in the construction of multi-storied buildings and cities are growing vertically. This calls for the use of high-strength TMT bars to provide the requisite strength. A host of geographical factors including earthquake zoning has also influenced such upgrading of reinforcement steel.

In India too, a new strength grade Fe 600 has been introduced as per an amendment in November 2012 of the IS 1786: 2008. Captain Steel is one of the few TMT manufacturing companies in India, to have qualified for this higher order technological process of manufacturing. With state-of-the-art equipment and a high skill work set, it successfully launched Captain TMT 600 EQR.

    Rust Guard TMT bar is called a green revolution in steel. Captain Steel was the first to manufacture the Rust Guard TMT bar in Eastern India.

    It is called Rust Guard as this TMT bar provides complete protection from rust and corrosion due to its epoxy coating.

    Epoxy coatings cure, whereas paint dries. In addition, when 100 % solid epoxy coating for steel is used, the surface becomes hard and durable, making it highly resistant to things like chemicals, abrasions, impact, oil and grease, and stains.

    No, the green colour is not hand-painted. It is a fusion bonded epoxy coating on the TMT bar, done by high-end machines. Fusion-bonded epoxy is  basically 100% solid ground fused powder particles which when heated melt to form a continuous film - the metaloplast membrane. This membrane, being non-penetrative, protects the steel bars from the attack of oxygen and water molecules and provides protection from rust and corrosion.

    This is because the rib design protruding prominently on Rust Guard TMT bars ensures a strong grip on the concrete, especially in RCC constructions.

    Yes. Rust Guard TMT bars can be welded. After welding, a patch-up coating must be applied to the cut area. A complimentary patch-up coating is provided by Captain Steel on every purchase.

    General FAQ's

    Thermo-Mechanically Treated bars, better known as TMT bars, are high-strength
    reinforcement bars that have a tough outer surface and a soft inner core. The strength of
    TMT bars is controlled by optimising the water pressure to render a soft core and tough
    exterior surface, thereby providing optimum strength, ductility and toughness

    TMT reinforcing bar has a soft ferrite-pearlite core and a hard martensitic rim. The outer
    layer of the steel bar becomes tough and durable due to the drastic difference in
    temperature brought about by the process of sudden quenching. TMT bars are then
    subjected to atmospheric cooling to equalise the temperature difference between the inner
    core and exterior. As it gradually goes through a cooling process, the TMT bar turns into a
    ferrite-pearlite mass. The TMT bar has good tensile strength and ductility since the inner
    core remains soft.

    TMT bars are widely used in general purpose concrete reinforcement structures, bridges and
    flyovers, dams, thermal and hydel power plants, industrial structures, high-rise buildings,
    underground platforms in metro railway and rapid transport system.

    The manufacturing process of TMT Bar involves the following steps
    Step 1- Manufacturing of billets from raw materials:
    Step 2 - Heating, Rolling and formation of reinforced bar:
    Step 3 - Quenching:
    Step 4 - Self-tempering:
    Step 5 - Atmospheric Cooling:


    Manufacture of Steel Billets

    Billets are rectangular rods which are created by the Continuous Casting Process. In this process,
    steel is molten and heated to a temperature of 1700°C. It is subsequently poured into casting
    moulds to give the form of billets.

    The hot billets are sent to a Rolling / Reduction Mill where the thickness is further reduced and
    elongated across three stands – Roughing, Intermediate and the Finishing stands. 

    Quenching

    Undesirable property changes might occur in case freshly cast rods are consistently kept at a
    higher temperature.
    However, this is prevented by passing the bars through a Quenching Chamber where they
    undergo Rapid Cooling system and are sprayed with cold water.
    This leads to a unique layer called Martensite being formed on the exterior surface of the bar.

    Self Tempering

    During the cooling down process of the steel bars, the outer core of the bar is at a lower
    temperature and the inner core is at a much higher temperature.
    The Martensite is further tempered on exposure to air and conduction, which leads to heat flix
    being transferred to the outer core from the inner core.
    Eventually, the process leads to the formation of Bainite and Martensite rings around the bars.
    This helps the bar to achieve higher yield strength. The core remains hot and malleable,
    otherwise called austenitic during this phase.


    Atmospheric Cooling

    The temperature of the inner core of the bars are gradually reduced to room temperature by
    passing them through special cooling beds. At this point the differentiation of outer and inner
    core becomes cognizable. The bar becomes more weldable and tensile since it has Ferrite- Pearlite structure in the center.
    The bars are then tested, bundled, and made ready for despatch.

    Fe-415, Fe-500, Fe-550, and Fe-600 are four different grades of TMT bars produced in
    India.
    These grade numbers signify the stress level that must be applied to make any
    deformation in the bar. More stronger and superior bars have higher grade. According to
    their strength and rigidity, the respective grades are given.
    Decorative structures like balcony railings etc are made with low graded bars, but for
    core building structures like roofs and floors high graded bars are used.
    Usually for residential constructions and homes, Fe – 415 is suitable whereas Fe – 600
    bars are used for industrial use. For construction of bridges and underground structures,
    versatile bars like Fe – 500 and Fe – 550 are preferred.

    In 1959, Round bars were used, which led to plain ribbed bars from 1960 onwards. In
    1968 came CTD bars (Cold Twisted Deformed) and the next step was TMT bars, which
    happened in 1980.

    Now, let’s learn a little detail about these different grades of these bars which the TMT bar
    manufacturers in India produce –
    1. Fe-415 – This grade of TMT bar is perfect choice for homes and residential
    construction. They feature higher elongation which makes them absolutely perfect for
    building structures in earthquake-prone areas. Due to their anti-corrosion resistant
    coating, these grades of bars protect from rust and corrosion
    2. Fe-500 – This grade of TMT bar is popularly known for its uses during the
    construction of bridges, underground structures and multi-story commercial buildings.
    3. Widely used in coastal areas since they are resistant to corrosion
    4. Fe-550 – They are slightly better than Fe-500 grade and they are used both for
    construction activities which Fe-500 is capable of and also for those projects for which Fe
    – 500 is a little unsuitable
    5. Fe-600 – This type of TMT grade is generally used for heavy industrial construction
    as they require extraordinary strength and hardiness. This grade feature higher tensile
    strength than any of the other grades

    When iron is oxidised by open air, a layer of oxide is formed which is known as rusting.
    Although rusting has no impact on the quality of product, it is quite common since reaction
    of air and moisture forming rust is a regular phenomenon. It spreads on the surface
    uniformly. Corrosion is a chemical or an electrochemical reaction between an engineered
    material and its environment which causes its disintegration. Other compounds are also
    formed along with oxides and this leads to the metal surface being unevenly eroded. This is
    detrimental to the product quality.
