TMT TMPCORE BARS
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 temp core based 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 ferrlite-pearlite aggregate. Kamdhenu Ispat Ltd., Bhiwadi unit has been authorized by CRM, Belgium to manufacture Tempcore TMT under licence agreement. |

Frequently asked question about Kamdhenu T.M.T
|
| Q: What is TMT Saria? |
| A: It is a special type-of saria manufactured using a latest technology. In developed countries only TMT Saria is used for construction activities. |
|
| Q: How TMT Saria is manufactured? |
| A: This high quality saria is manufactured using most advanced technology of the 21st century called 'Thermo Mechanical Treatment'. |
|
| Q: Why should you use TMT Saria? |
| A: Because it is very strong and economical. |
|
| Q: How it is economical? |
| A: Because of its 20 % more strength. |
|
| Q: Is TMT Saria used for high rising building, bridges and dams only? |
| A: Not at all. It is used for all types of construction works ranging from buildings to dams. |
|
| Q: So what are the other specialties of this saria? |
| A: 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. |
|
| Q: How can distinguish genuine Kamdhenu TMT Saria? |
| A: Kamdhenu stamp on every meter of saria and red Kamdhenu strip on every bundle proves the genuineness of Kamdhenu TMT Saria. So watch out for these two things while purchasing Kamdhenu TMT Saria. |
|
| Q: Is there duplicate TMT Saria available in the market? |
| A: Yes, Duplicate TMT Saria are very much available in the market from local manufacturers who apply water on cheap saria during production to make them look alike TMT Saria. Some other brands are sold saying it is product of Kamdhenu. |
|
| Q: How can duplicate TMT Saria be detected? |
| A: Just avoid the local products. Go for reputed brands to avoid any cheating and fake products. |
|
| Q: How many grades are there in TMT Saria? |
| A: Fe - 415, Fe- 500 and Fe- 550 are three grades in TMT Saria. Fe- 550 is the strongest among the three. Kamdhenu has the credit of manufacturing Fe - 550 grade Saria first time in India. These three grades of Kamdhenu Saria come at 8 mm to 25 mm range. |
