TMT steel bar is a newer variety of steel for construction purpose. Earlier people have been using
TOR Steel for concrete reinforcement.
Thermo Mechanically Treated bars (TMT bars) give you several advantages over the other types of
steel:
Twisting operation is not involved in the production of the TMT steel bar, so no residual stresses
involved in that , which in turn increases the corrosion resistance.
Uses:
TMT Bars are much superior to conventional TOR Steel by virtue of their various engineering
properties and can be used for Residential Buildings, Bridges, Drums, Industrial Establishment and all
types of concrete reinforcement purposes.
TMT Bars:
Grade - Fe 415
IS: 1786
Note:
The project designers use thermo mechanically treated bars (TMT) in place of tor steel and even in
TMT, the choice is increasingly focussed on that with higher tensile strength ( Fe-500 in lieu of Fe-
415) and high corrosion resistant TMT (HCRM) which is specially meant for use in coastal areas.
