REASONS WHY MEGA TURBO TMT PRODUCTS ARE SUPERIOR
Mega Turbo TMT bars conform to Fe 500D, IS: 1786 specification. Its carbon levels are lower than the BIS specification, which results in ductility, high bonding capability and a superior welding strength.

Mega Turbo TMT bars possess a combination of strength and ductility in excess of the minimum limits specified by IS: 1786. For instance, the yield strength is as high as 540 N/mm (the standard specifies 500N/mm as acceptable). Similarly, against the standard value of ductility (16 percent) measured by elongation, a Mega Turbo TMT bars’ corresponding value is 18 percent. These superior values of strength and ductility represent higher levels of safety.

An inseparable bonding takes place between a Mega Turbo TMT bar and its surrounding concrete. This is due to the specially designed rib pattern of Mega Turbo TMT bars which are cut by automated milling machines to ensure a high precision of uniformity. Mega Turbo TMT bars bond strength is 200 percent higher than that of mid steel bars, exceeding stipulations that require that the bond strength be only 40 percent higher than that of mild steel plain bars.
MegaTurboTMT bars have the utmost tensile strength and superior quality that gives a strong and perfect infrastructure. Mega Turbo TMT Rebars are manufactured by an advanced Turbo quench process. This results in a tough outer surface with a soft core. This in turn provides good bend-ability. With Mega Turbo TMT rebar one can achieve the architecture they have planned with precision. Our TMT bars provide superior bendability thus allowing customisations with no loss in strength.
Mega Turbo TMT bars are manufactured in a world class facility, thus ensuring our TMT bars come with the best welding ability in the industry. Our bars’ low carbon equivalent results in a welding strength that is considerably superior to the conventional cold twisted bars. Mega Turbo TMT bars can be bull-welded simply by using ordinary futile-coated electrodes of matching strength – an obvious advantage in manual arc welding. We make sure no loss of any significant properties take place whilst welding.
Mega Turbo TMT bars inherents a strong resistance towards corrosion which makes it the most suitable construction material for every engineer. While most bars are produced by cold twisting, Mega Turbo TMT bars are produced through thermo-mechanical treatment. This results in superior rust resistance characteristics compared to traditional cold twisting bars because there are no residual tensional stresses in the bar.
Mega Turbo TMT bars are thoughtfully manufactured keeping in mind the various hazards one could possibly encounter. Mega Turbo TMT bars are extremely resistant to higher temperatures. These bars retain more than 80% of their ambient temperature yield strength at 300° C and 40% at 500° C. The superior values of strength and ductility of our TMT bars represent higher levels of safety thus ensuring good fire resistant properties.
In a series of tests, concrete beam column joints, reinforced with Mega Turbo TMT bar, were subjected to repeated reverse loading inelastic strains. These simulation tests were conducted to evaluate their performance during an earthquake. The result showed a uniformly maintained ductility till failure due to uniform energy dissipation during each cycle.
