Process
DIIL TMT (Thermo-Mechanical-Treatment) is a special heat treatment process, wherein the heat treatment is right from rolling process. At the exit of the rolled product, the ribbed bar is subjected to the TMT process across 3 stages.
- Stage 1: This involves successive steps of rapid quenching in a special water system converting the surface layer of ribbed bar into a hardened structure.
- Stage 2: This is tempering process, which involves the flow of the heat from the core of the bar to the surface.
- Stage 3: Finally, the bars are cooled in atmospheric air on the cooling bed. This transforms the outer case of the bar into tempered martensitic state, while internally the bar becomes a fine pearlite core. The TMT process eliminates all undesirable qualities of the normally treated bar.
- The DIIL TMT, therefore attains higher strength, and this gives the bar excellent ductility, enhanced bendability and superiority.
Merits of DIIL TMT
- Saves 14% - 19% steel
- Better safety of structures, owing to higher elongation
- Suitable seismic loading (i.e., in earth-quake prone areas) due to enhanced fatigue resistance
- Suitable for area prone to fire hazards
- Improved resistance to corrosion than CTD bars
- Pre-fabrication of meshed possible
- Ease in working on-site
