Common grades: IS 2062/ 1999, IS 1786/ 1985, SAIL TMT and SAIL TMT HCR. Also available in the following foreign specifications: ASTM-A 615 Grade 40 (for TMT wire rods) and ASTM-A 615 Grade 40/ Grade 60 (for TMT Bars), if sufficient orders are available.
Tolerance as per IS 1786 or equivalent.
Packaging : Signode strapping in bundles of 5 tonnes
Rounds are available in straight lengths. Plain Rounds/ TMT rebars/ TMT-HCR rebars in sizes 8 and 10 mm are available in coils. The other sizes of Plain Rounds/ TMT rebars/ TMT-HCR rebars are available in straight lengths.
High Temperature Strength
SAIL TMT-HCR reinforcement bars exhibit higher thermal resistance even at temperatures up to 600 0 C. The retention of significant strength or, in other words, resistance to softening, is attributed to design of steel chemistry, presence of tempered martensite layer on the rebar surface and absence of any cold worked structural zone. Thus the thermally hardened SAIL TMT-HCR rebars are ideal for use in places prone to fire hazards.
