About Thermex Technology

In new technological era TMT Bar that is produced by using Thermex Technology is also known as TMX. Thermex Technology TMT Bar is High Quality TMT Bar that can be used for all construction purposes for its tensile strength.

THERMEX thermo-processing treatment have enabled production of desired high strength rebars that meet all requirements of civil construction — yield strength ranging from 450 to 550 N/mm2 or more toughness, high elongation value and ductility, weldability, excellent bend properties etc. A short, intensive but very precise in-line cooling of the rolled bar is imparted in THERMEX process through proprietary system.

This treatment results in a cooled hardened output. On further cooling of the bar in atmosphere a Thermal exchange (THERMEX) occurs between the inner and cooled outside martensite surface where by the resultant bar structure is a distinct tempered martensite at periphery and a fine grained ferrite — pearlite structure in the central zone.

During the last few years the demand of reinforcement bars increased sharply. The increase of particular Grade 500D TMT Bar not only for its high strength but also for:

  • It saves time in Reinforcement process
  • Reduces the cost of the labors
  • Saving in steel thus the cost of manufacturing is high yet comes with best property
  • Transportation cost reduces due to lesser in weight
  • Processing is easy due to its bending property without losing any strength

Thermex TMT Reinforced Bars

The patented Thermex cooling technology is considered to be a boon in civil industry that is actually helped world economy to cut down the cost from producing the steel with costly elements. Worldwide Thermex technology TMT Rebars are widely accepted for the following reasons:

  • Superior quality that comes with the best price
  • For High Strength and ductility it is usable for all construction purposes
  • Highly Resistant to Corrosion
  • Thermex TMT bars are Resistant to Fire over others
  • Save upto 17% of steel when TMT bars are manufactured by using Thermex Technology
  • Highly resistant to Fatigue and easily weldable
  • For lesser weight easily can be transported thus the transportation cost of using Thermex TMT Bars are lesser over others
  • It is highly ductile therefore during an earthquake it can exchange the extra energy and reduces the chances of damage. So, Thermex Technology TMT Bars are Earthquake Resistant

India’s most of the places are comes under High Seismic Zone therefore it is mandatory to use Earthquake Resistant TMT Bars. Also Thermex Cooling System made the TMT bars ready almost after it is out of the rolling mill, whereas Cold Twisted Deformed Bars (CTD) takes time to dispatch from the day of manufacturing.
