Strength of the bars are carefully controlled by optimizing the water pressure for their pearlitic core and tough surface of tempered martensite, thereby providing an optimum strength, ductility and toughness. 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. TMT Bars are thermo-mechanically-treated through leading world's best technology for high yield strength. The process involves rapid quenching of the hot bars through a series of water jets after they roll out of the last mill stand. The bars are cooled, allowing the core and surface temperatures to equalize. The bar core cools down slowly to turn into a ferrite-pearlite aggregate.
Features of TMT Bars
Frequently asked question about Kamdhenu Nxt TMT Bars
Ans: It is a special type-of bar manufactured using a latest technology. In developed countries only TMT Bar is used for construction activities.
Ans: This high quality bar is manufactured using most advanced technology of the 21st century called 'Thermo Mechanical Treatment'.
Ans: Because it is very strong, ductile and economical.
Ans: Because of its 20 % more strength.
Ans: Not at all. It is used for all types of construction works ranging from buildings to dams.
Ans: 1. It is earth quake resistant because of its high tensile strength and flexibility.
2. It is less affected by rust.
3. It has 4 % less weight per meter than normal that makes it economical.
4. It has more strength to sustain fire.
5. It bonds strongly with cement than other reinforcement bars.
6. It does not peel off the skin while working with it.
Ans: Kamdhenu Nxt stamp on every meter of bar and red Kamdhenu strip on every bundle proves the genuineness of Kamdhenu Nxt TMT Bar. So watch out for these two things while purchasing Kamdhenu Nxt TMT Bar.
Ans: Yes, Duplicate TMT Bar are very much available in the market from local manufacturers who apply water on cheap bar during production to make them look alike TMT Bar. Some other brands are sold saying it is product of Kamdhenu.
Ans: Just avoid the local products. Go for reputed brands to avoid any cheating and fake products.
Ans: There are 11 grades in TMT Bar. However, commonly used grades are - Fe- 500, Fe- 550, Fe- 500 D and Fe- 550 D. Fe- 550 is the strongest among these. These grades of Kamdhenu Bar come at 8 mm to 25 mm range, & 32mm range also.
Kamdhenu Nxt is a uniquely produced product of the company within the quality standards according to BIS specifications.
