Why Should You Use Corrosion Resistant TMT Bar?

TMT bars are a newly born, technologically improved version of TOR steel that was used before the invention of the TMT bars.

Twisting operation is not involved in the manufacturing process of TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated). The absence of residual stress increases the corrosion-resistant property of the TMT bars.

 

Here are 3 important reasons why you should use corrosion-resistant TMT bars:

  1. Unlike the TOR steel that gets easily corroded in the concrete because of the existence of chloride ions, TMT bars are corrosion-resistant because they are made with improved technology.
  2. Along with being corrosion-resistant, TMT bars are also fire-resistant.

Their high thermal stability can resist temperatures ranging from 400-600 degree Celsius.

 

  1. TMT bars have also a superior bonding strength.

The external ribs along the entire length of the bars foster great bonding strength between the concrete/cement and the bar.
