Manufacturing Process
Sourcing of high-quality sponge iron
The company uses high-quality magnetite iron ores and reduces it through the proprietary sponge iron process where a finely divided iron ore is being reduced.
Induction furnace
Coke, ore, and sinter, as well as limestone, are fed into the top of the Induction furnace. A jet of hot air is pumped through nozzles in the furnace's base. The iron in the ore and sinter is melted off, forming a pool of molten metal in the furnace's bottom, or hearth. Limestone reacts with impurities and molten rock from the iron smelter.
Continuous Casting
To create billets, the metal is first heated to a liquid condition by burning out impurities, then transported straight into a continuous casting process. In continuous casting, the steel passes from the tundish through ceramic tubes to three water-cooled copper moulds where it starts to solidify.
Cutting of billets
The company uses Billet cutting machine is a kind of cold shearing machine, which is used to cut the steel billet. With PLC control, automatic feeding, automatic cutting , automatic counting, automatic lubrication and overloading protection . Billets are then sheared into the required sizes.
Secondary Cooling & Hot Charging
Once the solidifying billets exit the continuous casting machine, they enter a secondary cooling chamber. Here, the semi-finished billets are sprayed with water to achieve complete solidification. This process is important for maintaining the shape of the solidified billets, improving their quality in the long run.
Next, the solidified metal strands are reheated again in our reheating furnace. This is done to recrystallize the metal, improving quality and reducing material losses. The recrystallization process is very important because the metal strands can then be processed in the rolling mill without destroying the bonding.
Rolling Mill
The most significant metal forming process is rolling. Metals are moulded into final shapes by passing between rollers that run in opposing directions. Steel rolling is the process of reducing the cross-section of large billets. The main focus is to produce finished TMT Bars that have various applications in the construction industry. It is the metalworking method, which is most famous across the industries for heating the metal above the recrystallization temperature. During this process, the volume and features of the metal remain the same.
Infinite Rib pattern Production
At RD TMT our vision is to produce products as per the standards and the certification of the International Standards Organisation. Therefore we only produce C-rib design patterns on our TMT bars which is widely accepted across the world in all construction practises.
Water Quenching
The TMT produced then undergoes a process of rapid cooling which results in obtaining high-strength steel using water as a quenching medium. Once the hot rolled bars release from the finished mill it enters the water spray system. The best quality tmt bars manufacturing process uses Tempcore Technology that cools down the outer core rapidly and ensures the ductility of TMT Rebars. Rapid cooling hardens the outer core of the TMT Rebars to a depth optimized for each section, forming a martensitic rim while the core remains hot & Austenitic.
Cooling Bed
The cooling bed is located in the rolling mill after the rolling of the steel material is completed. It supports and permits the hot rolled bars from the last stand of the mill to cool. Cooling bed cools the bars as well as cross transfers them towards the discharge end. In a cooling bed the temperature of the entire length of the bar is to be cooled at the same time. If not, it develops stresses in the bar.
Bending, Tagging
and Packing
Bending is a process where all the bars are bent to a certain radius. The fine produce is then tagged and is safely packaged to ensure that the bars are secure so that they can be transported without being damaged. Each TMT bar is quality checked once again in this last step and then tagged for dispatch.

FAQs
We at RD TMT stand apart from our competitors due to various factors. We produce TMT bars only from Billets which is a far superior product when compared to ingots. We aim to have a zero rejection rate due to the German technology installed in our fully automated plant. This reduces the rate of accidents and human intervention as the industry deals with heavy machinery at very high temperatures. With 100% stock being stored in our plant warehouses all the orders are dispatched freshly and without any rust.
You probably only build a home once in your lifetime and put years of savings into it. However, you want it to be not just beautiful, but also powerful and pure as you construct it. A robust and strong home requires an equally solid foundation All of this can only be provided by a quality TMT during the construction phase of your home. Hence we suggest to not compromise on the brand of TMT bars as it plays a major role while constructing a house. We recommend only to choose a Fe550 steel bar and pay outmost attention to the chemical composition. Request a test certificate of the TMT given to you by your nearest RD TMT dealer.
A large amount of energy is transferred to a structure during an earthquake. Before breaking, a structure composed of a ductile material would absorb a larger amount of energy/impulsive stress. Steel provides immense ductility to the structure, hence preventing the damages from earthquake. We are RD TMT do several tests from each batch to make sure the TMT bars dispatched are ready and resistant from any natural calamities.
RD TMT Fe550 tmt bars possess a higher tensile strength when compared to an ordinary steel bar. This in turn helps the structure to become stronger using less quantity of TMT. This helps to reduce other overheard costs such as material handling, transportation and the time consumed during construction.
TMT bars should be utilised to make any construction sturdy and long-lasting. They may be utilised for a variety of projects, including single-story homes, multi-story buildings/complexes, tunnels, bridges, flyovers, dams, and even television towers. TMT bars are used exclusively for all types of construction, large or small. We aim to cater to both projects as well as individual house buyers as we aim to provide the same quality product to an individual which we provide to the projects.
