WHAT IS TMT
Thermo Mechanically Treated Steel known as TMT steel can be described as a new
generation high strength steel, having superior properties such as Weldability, Strength, Ductility
and Bendability meeting highest quality standards.
TMT Steel bars are made to pass through specially designed water cooling system where
these are kept for such a period that the outer surface of the bar becomes colder while the core
remains hot. This creates a temperature gradient in the bar.
When the bars are taken out of the cooling system, the heat flows from the core to the
outer surface causing further tempering of the steel bars thereby helping them in attaining higher
yield strength of steel. The resulting heat treated structure has high strength and good toughness
properties.
The development of Thermo Mechanically Treated(TMT) steel rebars have made a
remarkable impact on the steel manufacturing process due to its high strength and other
significant features such as Weldability, Ductility, Bendability. TMT rods are manufactured
using the Quenching & Tempering (Q&T) technology.This metallurgical process assimilates
heat-treatment and water hardening(Quenching) to a single process. Latest Q&T technology
brings Minar TMT steel bars to match with international quality standards.We utilize injector
technology Tempcore licensed quenching process which makes us an exclusive TMT steel
manufacturer.




TEMPCORE PROCESS
QUENCHING

Minar TMT bars are produced using the most advanced quenching system known as the
TEMPCORE system in order to obtain high material properties such as excellent weldability,
ductility and bendability. After the hot rolled steel leaves the mill stand the product is rapidly and
energetically water cooled ,this process is called quenching. Using the TEMPCORE technology
the hot rolled steel is rapidly cooled through the cooling station, where it undergoes a surface
hardening(martensite layer). Through the quenching process, the surface layer is TEMpered by
using the residual heat left in the core of the bar(self tempering of the martensite layer). Then
after the treatment,the product lies on the cooling bed where the bar is subjected to normal
cooling down to ambient temperature(transformation of the residual austenite in the core).
TEMPCORE technology is to date the best process for the production of high quality TMT bars
and Minar TMT is South Indias one and only steel manufacturer accredited for TEMPCORE
License from the Centre for Research in Metallurgy, Belgium.
Minar Group is proud of its accomplishments to date which have seen us evolve from a
small entity to a highly reputed company in the steel manufacturing industry. Minar TMT has
obtained the license for manufacturing the world's leading Tempcore TMT steel from the Centre
for Research in Metallurgy, Belgium. To add to this , Minar TMT is South Indias one and only
steel manufacturer accredited for TEMPCORE License.We are glad that our customers can
benefit from the enormous benefits obtained through the implementation of advanced Tempcore
technology.
The TEMPCORE Process has been developed by C.R.M Belgium, in order to attain high
yield strength, weldable concrete reinforcing bars from mild steel, without Vanadium or
Niobium additions.Tempcore is to date the best process for manufacturing high quality TMT
rebars.



THE TEMPCORE PROCESS
The re-bar leaving the last stand of hot rolling passes through a special water cooling
section. The cooling is such that a surface layer of the bar is quenched into martensite, the core
remaining austenitic. The quenching treatment is stopped when a determined thickness of
martensite has been formed under the skin. The re-bar leaves the drastic cooling section, the
temperature gradient established in its cross section causes heat to flow from the centre to the
surface. This results in self tempering of martensite. Finally, during the slow cooling of the re-
bar on the cooling bed, austentic core transforms into ferrite and pearlite.
