SK Super TMT Technical Advantage

Chemical Properties

SK Super TMT bars are produced from Fe 500 & Fe 500D IS: 1786 grade billets, with carbon levels maintained much lower than the ISI specification which results in excellent ductility, high bendability, better corrosion resistance and superior weldability. The other undesirable impurities like Sulphur and Phosphorus that impairs the overall longevity of TMT bars are also maintained at a much lower level than ISI specifications.

Mechanical Properties

SK Super TMT Bar's unique manufacturing processes create a combination of strength and ductility that exceeds the minimum limit specified in the standard IS: 1786 certification. In terms of yield strength of SK Super TMT Bar, though the standard specifies a minimum of 500 N/mm2 for Fe500 grade, we produce at 540 N/mm2 as minimum. Also the typical value of ductility measured by elongation for our product is 18% minimum, against the standard value of 12%. This gives superior values of strength and ductility to our products. UTS / YS ratio and percentage of elongation reflect the ability to handle the pressure of earth quake; higher the value, better the ability.
