Tamil Nadu has a historic lineage when it comes to steel. Owing to its convenient location in the Coromandel Coast, Parangipettai was a major trading centre trading with Arab, Portuguese and Dutch before the English colonized the area. The first iron steel industry was constructed in Porto Novo in 1830, the Egmore railway station in Chennai bears witness to the strength of the steel produced.
Today Tamil Nadu in India is one of the leading steel manufacturing location & raw materials source for Steel TMT bars. The state has a steel manufacturing output of $3 billion, which is 3% of the national output of iron and steel. The top TMT steel manufacturing companies have their presence in Tamil Nadu.
The leading brand TATA TISCON SD TMT Bar has launched its presence in the state with its super ductile TMT bars that are the ideal solution for any construction. Offering the sturdiest support this is a preferred choice for construction all over the country.
Another favoured in TMT bars is ARS 550D TMT Bars. Manufactured using high yield stress, shock resistance and elongation properties, these are earthquake and corrosion-resistant.
Quenching and tempering following the German standards and technology the highly flexible Iron Arun TMT Bars, 36 meters are a popular choice in Tamil Nadu.
Though most steel companies offer neck to neck quality in TMT bars Agni Steels Pvt Ltd, is a much-used product in the local market and is known for its high- strength with better-elongated bars.
The other brands that follow these leading manufacturers are SS Steel India Corporation, Ponn Sakthi - TMT Bar, Minar Steel, MS Life Steel Bars are marking a mark in TMT bar manufacturing they produce bars having thermal resistant properties that have endurance to withstand fire, the bard are extremely flexible with elongation and stretching ability and do not crack or get damaged. They can withstand seismic wave. These bards are highly ductile. These bars display a better bonding with cement.
Standard TMT bars are treated thermo-mechanically and being an important construction material they should follow a certain standard. They are available in different grades ranging from Fe 415-Fe600. The low-grade bars display high flexibility the high grade bars stand for strength. The ideal TMT bars are combined with both features. The top 10 TMT steel companies in Tamilnadu are created with these essential features. They are thermal resistant, maintaining high resistance to fire, these bars are highly flexible and have elongated or stretching features that can withstand seismic waves, therefore are extremely effective in earthquake prone regions. The high ductility of these bars display remarkable strength and have excellent bon ding capacity with cement. Being corrosion resistant they are rust free and have a high level of longevity. This is the most cost-effective and durable component in construction and exceptionally reduces the cost of construction. TMT bars have been responsible for many constructions in the state of Tamil Nadu. From high rise buildings to airports, flyovers, dams, railway projects have all been erected with this essential construction material.
In mild steel the carbon content is low and it is not even an alloy of steel as chromium and other alloys are missing. This steel is more ductile and has wieldable strength and cannot be strengthened through quenching and heating. The tensile strength is from mild to low and is highly prone to corrosion and cannot withstand earthquakes. This steel was introduced in the 19th century. Now TMT bars of superior quality and the basic spine of any construction.
