Steel is long-lasting, lightweight and versatile which makes it an ideal material for construction projects. You should use high-quality for your contention projects to ensure the safety and longevity of your structures. However, every steel is not equal in quality.
The TMT steel bars are widely used for construction in developing countries. Steel is used because of its high strength, versatility, ductility and recyclable nature. There are many advantages to using steel for construction.
Advantages of using steel
The main advantage of using steel is that the steel bars meet the building code requirements. The manufacturers provide certificates which help to gauge the quality of steel. For TMT steel bars the manufacturer provides a certificate stating the process of manufacturing, a test sheet stating the results of various mechanical tests and the chemical composition of the bar.
The test certificate provides information like the place of manufacture of steel, diameter, grade of steel, rolled-in marking on the steel, cast/heat number, date of testing, mass of tested lot and results of the individual tests for all properties.
High-quality steel is used to ensure the durability and longevity of the structures. The strength, ductility and corrosion resistance of steel bars depends on factors like the chemical composition. The maximum percentage of certain constituents allowed per grade is listed in the IS 22B (Indian Standard) for construction steel. This helps you to know if the steel meets the required standards.
Constituent = Max. Percentage
= Fe 550 = Fe 550 D = Fe 600
Carbon = 0.30% = 0.25% = 0.30%
Sulphur = 0.055% = 0.040% = 0.040%
Phosphorous = 0.050% = 0.040% = 0.040%
Sulphur and Phosphorous combined = 0.100% = 0.075% = 0.075%
Steel is resistant to fire, earthquakes, extreme weather conditions and other hazards which makes it a preferred choice for construction in any environment. Steel resists deformation under stress and reliable welding can ensure safe and strong connections.
Steel is readily available in the market which makes it popular with all sizes of builders. It is easy to work with steel and can be easily cut, welded and shaped. This increases the construction efficiency and reduces labour costs.
High-quality steel is eco-friendly and sustainable and it can be easily reused without losing its strength for long periods. Steel is 100% recyclable and the steel production process requires less energy which helps to reduce the Carbon footprint of construction.
High-quality steel is strong, long-lasting and versatile and is widely used in modern construction projects. It is cost-effective and has exceptional strength which makes it an ideal choice for resilient and long-lasting structures.
The TMT steel bars are available in standard diameters of 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm and 25mm. The 10 mm steel rod offers more strength and safety than the 8mm rods with 25mm offering superior strength. The rods are manufactured using the ‘Thermo Mechanical Treatment’ process which involves heating the rods to high temperatures and cooling them rapidly. The TMT rods are hard from the outside and soft from the inside.
