PRODUCTION PROCEDURE
The production begins with primary production that is iron ore which include materials
like sponge iron, pig iron, wrought iron. Fe alloys are converted in to billet. The composition of
material Include
Sponge iron 70%
Mild iron 20%
Fe alloys, wrought iron, cast iron, pig iron 10%-15%
At Metrolla steels the resolve to deliver a truly superior TMT rebar begins from the raw
Materials. It only uses ISI certified billets. The manufacturing process takes a along, devoted 19
stages. This ensures that sturdy strength is built, phase by phase, in to rebar's this dedication has
given birth to India truly world class TMT rebar's.
TURBO TMT TECHNOLOGY

The Thermo Mechanical Treatment process consists of an online heat treatment in three
successive phases.
14
Stage 1
The first stage is a fast cooling step which is applied as the bar leaves the finishing stand.
The cooling efficiency should be such that the rate of cooling down to a certain depth
below the skin should be higher than the critical rate for martensite quenching. At this
stage, the bar has an austenite core surrounded by a layer comprised of a mixture of
austentite and martensite, with the martensite content increasing from the centre of the
skin. The duration of the first stage depends on the desired thickness of the martensite
layer.
Stage 2
During the second stage, the bar leaves the area of drastic cooling and is exposed to air.
The heat transfer coefficient of the environment being very small, and the temperature
gradient within the bar's cross section being very large, the core reheats the quenched
surface layer by conduction. As a result, the martensite formed during the first stage is
subjected to self tempering which I ensures adequate ductility while maintaining a high
yield strength level. The length of the second stage varies greatly with the diameter of the
bar and the cooling conditions applied during the stage. During this stage, the
untransformed austentite in the surface layer transforms to bainite, whereas the core
remains austenite. On the other hand, the layer near to the tempered martensite skin then
starts transforming to bainite, depending on the material's composition and cooling I
conditions.
Stage 3
The third stage occurs as the bar is positioned on the cooling bed. It consists of a quasi
isothermal transformation of the remaining austenite. The product of this transformation
is a mixture of either ferrite and pearlite or ferrite, pearlite and bainite. The effect of
quenching is a Parted structure on the surface.
15
Advantages Of Metcon TMT Bars
Corrosion Resistance
The Advanced TMT technology prevents the bars from corrosion.
Earth Quake Resistance

PRODUCTION FLOW CHARTS
The Metrolla steels has two units. a melting unit and a rolling unit. The melting
unit makes high quality ISI certified MS cast billet ingots. The rolling unit makes ISI
certified METCON TMT bars.
MELTING UNIT
The heart of melting unit is the electric induction furnace. The raw material is
charged using two overhead cranes with electromagnet into the furnace. The raw metal gets
melted in the furnace. The molten metal is chemically tested in the advanced testing lab of
Metrolla steels. After the testing is over, the required chemicals are added to the mixture to
give proper qualities. Once the proper mixture is attained ,the molten metal is casted into the
moulds to form steel ingots.
20
ROLLING UNIT
The rolling unit consists of a reheating furnace, roughing mill, intermediate mill,
finishing mill, the thermo mechanical treatment system and a cooling bed. The reheating
furnace uses furnace oil as fuel. The furnace oil and the air are properly mixed and fired
using the burners into the furnace. The steel ingots manufactured at metrolla steels' melting
unit are the raw material for the rolling unit.The steel ingots are heated in the reheating
furnace and taken into the roughing mill using the chain conveyor system. At the roughing
mill, the steel ingots gets rough. The area of cross section is reduced while the bar gets
elongated in rolling. The similar process happens at intermediate mill and the finishing mill.
The finishing mill finishes the material at required sizes like 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm,
20mm etc.
The finished material is taken for the TMT process to give high strength,
bendability, weldability and corrosion resistance. The finished steel is taken to the cooling
bed and then to the godown for dispatch

ROLLING UNIT
PURCHASING SYSTEMS
23
The raw materials for the production are imported and purchased from the local
market. Raw materials like sponge iron, pig iron are imported from Europe, USA,
Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and middle east where as raw materials like pig iron,
wrought iron, cast iron are brought from the country itself that is mainly from Punjab and
Orissa
The company has got contract with different agencies abroad for the procurement
of rawmaterials. Some of the purchase systems followed by the company consist of
Forward buying - in forward buying the purchasing decision for a period is
taken in advance and the organization will commit accordingly in terms of
order , quantity, rate and delivery schedule, this is because of the volatility and
fluctuation in the price of the raw materials
Blanket ordering system - in this the company will enter in to agreement
with its supplier to receive item for a required quantity at a particular rate over
a period of time

standards in the bend test.
c) Re bend test:
Metcon TMT Bars perfectly meets IS : 1786 ( Indian) and BS 4449 ( british)
standards in the rebend test. Metrolla steels believes in the internationally accepted
concept of E2P2. With this concept, the company is able to minimize our wastage, by
the process of recycling.
ENERGY CONSERVATION CONCEPT
Energy Efficiency and Pollution Prevention (E2P2) involves efficient and

optimized simultaneous use of energy and resources to enhance productivity and
profitability and at the same time reduce energy consumption and minimize the
production of environmental wastes. Metrolla Steels Limited tries to implement this
concept, and constant researches are going on in this area.
Energy Efficiency (E2) concept is simply the utilization of energy to its maximum
potential. Although energy constitutes the major portion of the total annual operating cost
of a company, since it is involve in every process and operation, it also has the largest
potential for significant savings. When energy inputs are optimized, financial operating
results significantly improved.
27
Pollution Prevention (P2) concept on the other hand applies the efficient use of
materials to minimize if not eliminates wastes and their impact to the environment. For
most of the manufacturing companies, waste is a sign of inefficient process and material
conversion into useful products. Thus, minimizing wastes enhances productivity and
product quality.
E2P2 is a two-way approach and has been proven to be cost effective in many
cases. While E2 approach focuses on improving or maximizing the existing processes,
the P2 on the other hand focuses on restructuring the processes to optimize the use of
materials and eliminate wastes. The E2P2 combined approach is workable because of the
simple reason that energy is a necessary and therefore integrated in all processes steps
and business operations. In a typical manufacturing scenario for instance, end-of-process
wastes normally requires significant amount of resources (i.e. energy and materials) to
produce. Therefore, in reducing that waste, the energy and materials required in its
production can be reuse and converted into more salable products. Also, the other costs
associated with that waste would be avoided and utilized for other needs of the company.
E2P2 followed by Metrolla Steels Limited, is therefore, a rational and proactive initiative
involving,
Process and/or procedure modifications

Equipment and/or technology modifications
In-process recycling
Product and/or Raw materials reformulation
Housekeeping improvements
Operation and maintenance improvements
28
Future Plans Of The Company
Metrolla's immediate plan in the future is to implement international standards such as

ISO 14001, which will bring about the following benefits to the firm.
Materials savings from more complete processing, substitution, re-use or

recycling of product inputs
