TMT bars

RD TMT bars are made to IS 1786:2008 and carry the ISI mark. The bar is quenched with water as it leaves the rolling mill. This gives it a hard outer layer for strength and a soft core for bending. We sell to builders, contractors, dealers and government projects across Karnataka and South India.

RD TMT and the grade rolled into the surface of a bar
Rolled into the bar

Every bar carries the RD TMT name and the grade.

The roll presses RD TMT and the grade into the steel between the ribs. A site engineer can read it on the bar long after the tag has come off the bundle. The heat number on the tag links the bar to its test certificate.

Why TMT bars

What RD TMT bars give you on site

Six things a structural engineer checks before approving a TMT bar supplier, and how RD TMT bars meet each one.

Bends without cracking

The bar has a hard outer layer and a soft core. It passes the IS 1786 bend and rebend test in every size from 8 mm to 32 mm.

Ductile for seismic design

Fe 550D bars stretch 14.5% before they fail. That is what ductile detailing in a seismic zone needs from the steel.

Corrosion resistant

Low sulphur and phosphorus and a dense outer layer slow down rusting inside the concrete.

Weldable on site

Carbon is kept low, so lap and butt welds can be made at site without pre-heating the bar.

Holds strength in a fire

TMT bars keep more of their yield strength at 300 to 600°C than cold-twisted bars. That gives people more time to get out.

Grips the concrete

The ribs are rolled to the same pitch and height on every bar, so the bond with concrete is the same from the first bar to the last.

Three grades

Fe 500, Fe 550 and Fe 550D grades

All three grades are made to IS 1786:2008 in every size from 8 mm to 32 mm. Fe 550 is the grade most of our government approvals name. Fe 550D has the same strength with more elongation, for ductile and seismic design.

Fe 550

Higher yield strength, so a design needs less steel. This is the grade in our GreenPro certificate and in the Tamil Nadu PWD, BDA and KRIDL approvals.

MS billets

We cast mild steel billets in our own plant and sell them to re-rolling mills. The billets are made to IS 14650:1999 under BIS licence CM/L-6200193608. Each heat is checked on a spectrometer before it is cut.
