6 Factors to Consider Before Buying TMT Steel Bars

6 Factors to Consider Before Buying TMT Steel Bars 

August 25, 2021 by VRKP in Steel Industry, Sustainablility, TMT Bars

For years Thermo Mechanically Treated bars or TMT  bars have been a symbol of endurance and strength. However, when you prepare to construct a new home or commercial complex, you check for the best materials, right? The market is flooded with various TMT steel bars brands. If you want to get quality for a lifetime you need to do your homework.

As a customer, you expect total value for the money you spend and wouldn’t want to compromise the least while buying TMT steel bars for construction. Generally, geographic location and climatic conditions determine the choice of construction materials. Here are a few additional points to consider before buying TMT steel bars.

1. Using high-quality virgin iron ore

High-quality virgin iron ore is the raw material used for manufacturing steel TMT bars.  Using scrap or ingots will result in poor quality which will affect the strength of the structure. It is advisable to buy TMT bars from manufacturers with strict adherence to quality standards. This ensures strength, ductility and maximum output.

2. Manufacturing  process 

A controlled steel manufacturing process reduces the level of impurities and increases strength. A  higher level of impurities decreases the strength of steel in extreme hot and cold conditions. It is also important to ensure the rebars are more ductile so that it absorbs energy beyond the regular yield limits. This helps buildings to withstand earthquakes and natural disasters. 

3. Grade

The Ladle Refining process gives TMT bars a superior quality. It is necessary to determine the grade of steel bars. To construct buildings in earthquake-prone areas a higher grade of TMT steel bars is recommended. According to  ISI standards, Fe 500 is a superior grade of TMT steel bars recommended for most civil constructions.

4. Design

It is interesting to note that dual ribbed TMT steel bars are of better quality than other products in the market. This unique technology adds strength and weather resistance to the TMT steel bars.  Choosing dual ribbed bars gives a higher grip to concrete which adds life to the building. 

5. Anti-Corrosive

If you intend to construct a home in a highly flood-prone area, you need to buy corrosion-resistant TMT Steel bars. Good quality TMT steel bars withstand saline water, moisture content in the atmosphere and other structure weakening elements. This will protect the building for a long period of time. 

6. Flexibility

Ductility and malleability make TMT steel bars suitable for all types of construction. This property reduces cracks from appearing to a great extent.  The flexibility of TMT steel bars prevents breakages due to heavy seismic tremors,  high degree shocks and concrete permeability. 

7. Certification

As a customer, it is important to choose TMT steel bars with certification.  Choosing reputed brands over others gives you a sense of trust and satisfaction. It is necessary to do research on the best TMT brands available in your region. Good TMT bars will generally have BIS or ISO certification. It is always better to get some insights from blogs, videos or even word of mouth information from trusted sources to avoid being hoodwinked.
