Parashakti TMT bars have a rare combination of high strength and excellent ductility. Higher yield strength results in loss of percentage elongation but in case of Parashakti TMT bars, this loss is negligible. The UTS/YS ratio is always maintained above 1.15 which results in higher percentage elongation values.

The tough outer layer and the ductile core of Parashakti TMT bars result in excellent bendability. The bars can be bent around small diameter mandrels, without fear of failure. If required, the bars can be straightened and re-bent without failure or cracking due to high ductility.

The Quenching process forms a martensitic layer at the outer surface and the Self Tempering process ensures that there are no torsional stresses in Parashakti TMT bars, which result in superior corrosion resistance characteristics.

Parashakti TMT bars have an inbuilt ability to resist lose of strength at higher temperatures.

The low carbon content and low carbon equivalent of Parashakti TMT bars ensure excellent weldability while using any of the welding processes. No pre-heating or post-heating of these bars is required. Tensile tests carried out on bars after welding show no failure at the weld joints.

An Earthquake Resistant bar must have a percentage elongation of at least 16%. The ductile core of Parashakti TMT bars imparts higher percentage elongation values while maintaining superior strength, making it ideal to use in high seismic zones too.

The use of High Strength FESOO Parashakti TMT Bars leads to savings in number of bars used and weight and there by cost. The effective savings can be in the tune of 17% - 18%.

Apart from usage in general concrete structures, Parashakti TMT bars of FE500 grade find usage in critical applications such as high rise buildings, bridges, flyovers, power plants, etc.

Parashakti TMT Bars FESOO conforms to various international standards like ASTM A615 Grade 60 of the USA, BST 500 of DIN 488 of Germany, BS 4449 Grade 460 of Great Britain, among others.
