Although not a new technology, the ladle refining furnace (LRF) method has of late become popular among steel manufacturers for the production of construction grade steel. This spurt in its adoption is attributable to the Government of India’s focus on large-scale infrastructure projects, including ports, bridges and dams, as well as high rise buildings in […]
A journey into ancient history will tell you that the world’s first ‘pure steel’ came from India. As early as 400 BC, Indians learned how to fuse iron with a high amount of carbon to produce the first true steel. They did this by sealing iron and charcoal into clay crucibles, and roasting these at […]
Early beginnings Steel manufacturing in India dates back to ancient times. Recent excavations in the Middle Ganges Valley reveal that iron making may have begun as early as 1800 BCE. However, it was the period of the Maurya Empire, between 322-185 BCE, that witnessed major advancements in the technology of metallurgy, with high quality steel […]
HSE Germany pioneered and introduced Thermex® in 1969. Today, this unique Quenching and Self-tempering (QST) process that enables rolling mills to produce low-cost, high strength deformed bars has been installed worldwide, across Asia, Australasia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Thermex® rebars meet all the mandatories of civil construction – yield strength, toughness, ductility, weldability and […]
With the rise in construction and infrastructure development activities across India. The demand for quality TMT steel bars is simultaneously on the rise. Manufacturers of TMT steel bars are witnessing a surge in demand and in production of this essential commodity, pertaining to the industry. With the rise in demand, the market might see rise […]
Introduction TMT (Thermo Mechanically Treated) bars are high-strength reinforcement bars with superior properties like tensile strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. These features make them ideal for modern construction, especially in seismic and coastal regions. In today’s evolving infrastructure industry, choosing the right reinforcement steel is critical to ensure long-term safety and structural integrity. […]
