Handling Technique & Advantages

Extended Life of construction
Extended Life of construction
As the epoxy coating of Captain RustGuard TMT bar cuts off oxygen and water from the concrete, corrosion is near impossible. This, thereby extends the life of constructions. RustGuard TMT rebars increase the structural lifespan in corrosive situations.
Better Weldability and Stretchability
Better Weldability and Stretchability
High strength and ductility come from the fine-grain multiphase composite structure. The metaloplast membrane leads to better stretchability and toughness of the epoxy-coated TMT bars. Since the mechanical properties of the rebar remain unchanged, the inherent strength of the TMT bar is not compromised. Neither the outer surface, nor the inner surface is ruptured during bending operations and high thermal stability is maintained. This makes Captain RustGuard TMT bars easy to weld.

RustGuard TMT bar is called a green revolution in steel. Captain Steel was the first to manufacture the RustGuardTMT bar in Eastern India.

It is called Rust Guard as this TMT bar provides complete protection from rust and corrosion due to its epoxy coating.

Epoxy coatings cure, whereas paint dries. In addition, when 100 % solid epoxy coating is used, the surface becomes hard and durable, making it highly resistant to things like chemicals, abrasions, impact, oil and grease, and stains.

No, the green colour is not hand-painted. It is a fusion bonded epoxy coating on the TMT bar, done by high-end machines. Epoxy coating is basically 100% solid ground fused powder particles which when heated melt to form a continuous film - the metaloplast membrane. This membrane, being non-penetrative, protects the TMT bars from the attack of oxygen and water molecules and provides protection from rust and corrosion.

This is because the rib design protruding prominently on Rust Guard TMT bars ensures a strong grip with the concrete, especially in RCC constructions.

Yes. RustGuardTMT bars can be welded. After welding, a patch-up coating must be applied to the cut area. A complimentary patch-up coating is provided by Captain Steel on every purchase.

General FAQ's

Thermo-Mechanically Treated bars, better known as TMT bars, are high-strength
reinforcement bars that have a tough outer surface and a soft inner core. The strength of
TMT bars is controlled by optimising the water pressure to render a soft core and tough
exterior surface, thereby providing optimum strength, ductility and toughness

TMT reinforcing bar has a soft ferrite-pearlite core and a hard martensitic rim. The outer
layer of the steel bar becomes tough and durable due to the drastic difference in
temperature brought about by the process of sudden quenching. TMT bars are then
subjected to atmospheric cooling to equalise the temperature difference between the inner
core and exterior. As it gradually goes through a cooling process, the TMT bar turns into a
ferrite-pearlite mass. The TMT bar has good tensile strength and ductility since the inner
core remains soft.

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.

The manufacturing process of TMT Bar involves the following steps
Step 1- Manufacturing of billets from raw materials:
Step 2 - Heating, Rolling and formation of reinforced bar:
Step 3 - Quenching:
Step 4 - Self-tempering:
Step 5 - Atmospheric Cooling:


Manufacture of Steel Billets

Billets are rectangular rods which are created by the Continuous Casting Process. In this process,
steel is molten and heated to a temperature of 1700°C. It is subsequently poured into casting
moulds to give the form of billets.

The hot billets are sent to a Rolling / Reduction Mill where the thickness is further reduced and
elongated across three stands – Roughing, Intermediate and the Finishing stands. 

Quenching

Undesirable property changes might occur in case freshly cast rods are consistently kept at a
higher temperature.
However, this is prevented by passing the bars through a Quenching Chamber where they
undergo Rapid Cooling system and are sprayed with cold water.
This leads to a unique layer called Martensite being formed on the exterior surface of the bar.

Self Tempering

During the cooling down process of the steel bars, the outer core of the bar is at a lower
temperature and the inner core is at a much higher temperature.
The Martensite is further tempered on exposure to air and conduction, which leads to heat flix
being transferred to the outer core from the inner core.
Eventually, the process leads to the formation of Bainite and Martensite rings around the bars.
This helps the bar to achieve higher yield strength. The core remains hot and malleable,
otherwise called austenitic during this phase.


Atmospheric Cooling

The temperature of the inner core of the bars are gradually reduced to room temperature by
passing them through special cooling beds. At this point the differentiation of outer and inner
core becomes cognizable. The bar becomes more weldable and tensile since it has Ferrite- Pearlite structure in the center.
The bars are then tested, bundled, and made ready for despatch.

Fe-415, Fe-500, Fe-550, and Fe-600 are four different grades of TMT bars produced in
India.
These grade numbers signify the stress level that must be applied to make any
deformation in the bar. More stronger and superior bars have higher grade. According to
their strength and rigidity, the respective grades are given.
Decorative structures like balcony railings etc are made with low graded bars, but for
core building structures like roofs and floors high graded bars are used.
Usually for residential constructions and homes, Fe – 415 is suitable whereas Fe – 600
bars are used for industrial use. For construction of bridges and underground structures,
versatile bars like Fe – 500 and Fe – 550 are preferred.

In 1959, Round bars were used, which led to plain ribbed bars from 1960 onwards. In
1968 came CTD bars (Cold Twisted Deformed) and the next step was TMT bars, which
happened in 1980.

Now, let’s learn a little detail about these different grades of these bars which the TMT bar
manufacturers in India produce –
1. Fe-415 – This grade of TMT bar is perfect choice for homes and residential
construction. They feature higher elongation which makes them absolutely perfect for
building structures in earthquake-prone areas. Due to their anti-corrosion resistant
coating, these grades of bars protect from rust and corrosion
2. Fe-500 – This grade of TMT bar is popularly known for its uses during the
construction of bridges, underground structures and multi-story commercial buildings.
3. Widely used in coastal areas since they are resistant to corrosion
4. Fe-550 – They are slightly better than Fe-500 grade and they are used both for
construction activities which Fe-500 is capable of and also for those projects for which Fe
– 500 is a little unsuitable
5. Fe-600 – This type of TMT grade is generally used for heavy industrial construction
as they require extraordinary strength and hardiness. This grade feature higher tensile
strength than any of the other grades

When iron is oxidised by open air, a layer of oxide is formed which is known as rusting.
Although rusting has no impact on the quality of product, it is quite common since reaction
of air and moisture forming rust is a regular phenomenon. It spreads on the surface
uniformly. Corrosion is a chemical or an electrochemical reaction between an engineered
material and its environment which causes its disintegration. Other compounds are also
formed along with oxides and this leads to the metal surface being unevenly eroded. This is
detrimental to the product quality.
