550D or Fe 550D is a grade of Thermo Mechanically Treated (TMT) steelbars, as defined by IS:1786, with Fe being the symbol for the Iron. Iron is the primary metal that the barsare made up of. ‘550’denotes the minimum yield stress in MPa (the tensile stress required to produce a total elongation) and the letter […]
Thermo Mechanically Treated bars, often referred to as TMT bars, are strong reinforcement bars that have a tough outer core and a soft inner core. The soft inner core in a TMT bar provides superior tensile strength and elongation point to the bars. TMT bars are used in almost every construction project due to their […]

The manufacturing and construction industry requires a range of flat bars. MS flat bars are among the most extensively used steel bars. In this blog, we have provided a short guide on MS flat bars to help you understand what it is, the different variants available, and its uses. So, let’s discuss! What is MS […]
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 […]
