How Metcon TMT Bars are more heat resistant compared to ordinary CTD bars?
In Metcon TMT Bars, test results have shown no loss of strength upto 500 deg. C. In the temperature range 550 to 600 deg.C, the yield strength decreases by 20 N/ sq. mm. only. Hence TMT bars can be used in places prone to fire hazards. In CTD bars, there is a large loss of strength at elevated temperatures.
