Earthquake Resistance

The thermo mechanical treatment attributes higher elongation to our Fe500D TMX Bars, enabling them to be resistant against earthquakes.

Corrosion-resistant

Fe500 and Fe500D TMX Bars are coated with a hard Ferric Oxide layer on the outer surface, enabling them to be resistant to corrosion.

Higher weldability

Raw materials used in the production of TMX Bars have low carbon content, ensuring higher weldability of the bars.

Super bonding ability

TMX Bars are manufactured to strongly bond with their surrounding concrete, adding to the strength and firmness of the construction.

Extra strength and ductility

TMX Bars are manufactured with a tempered martensite on the surface and fine grain ferrite-pearlite in the core, which provides higher strength, toughness and ductility.  In particular, Fe550 TMX Bars meet recognized specifications for UTS/YS ratio, indicating high strength and high ductility.
