Construction Materials

Construction material is material used for construction. Many naturally occurring substances, such as black stone chips, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacturing of TMT Bars is an integral part of construction Materials industry.

Black stone chips or crushed stone chips or angular rock is a type of construction aggregate. It is a relatively cheap but an extremely valuable resource. It is generally produced by mining a specific rock deposit and then obtaining the required size by crushing these rock deposits under machines like stone crushers. Stone chips are created artificially, in specific sizes according to use. Crushed stone chips can be very versatile and have a variety of uses from construction of buildings and roads to the building of pavements. It is even used for decorating landscapes. As a mineral mulch its benefits include erosion control, water conservation, weed suppression, and aesthetic qualities. It is often seen used in rock gardens and cactus gardens. 
The different grades or sizes associated with the black stone chips are labelled on the basis of whatever size they are crushed into. It helps you determine which size of the black stone chips is the most suitable for your project. The crushed stone chips includes one inch or smaller sizes are best suited for roads and paver base where as sizes between 3/8 and ½ are best stones for concrete mixes.

Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars are high-strength reinforcement bars that have a tough outer core and a soft inner core. The strength of TMT bars is carefully controlled by optimising the water pressure for their pearlitic core and tough surface of tempered martensite, thereby providing optimum strength, ductility and toughness. TMT bars are widely used in general purpose concrete reinforcement structures, bridges and flyovers, dams, thermal and hydel power plants, industrial structures, high-rise buildings, underground platforms in metro railway and rapid transport system. TMT Bars are thermo-mechanically-treated through leading world tempcore based technology for high yield strength.

Features of TMT Bars:

• Earthquake resistant
• Enhanced strength combined with high ductility
• High thermal resistance
• Better malleability
• Excellent weldability without loss of strength at welded joints
• Cost-efficient.

Sizes of TMT Bars:

8 MM, 10 MM, 12 MM, 16 MM, 20 MM, 25 MM, 32 MM
