FE550 TMX Bars
FE550 TMX Bars
A “550 TMX bar” refers to a high-strength Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) steel bar with a yield strength of 550 MPa, manufactured using “Thermex technology” which is known for its superior quality and increased tensile strength compared to standard TMT bars; typically used in heavy construction projects like high-rise buildings, bridges, and dams due to its high load-bearing capacity and fire resistance properties.
"550" signifies yield strength:
This number indicates the minimum yield strength of the bar, meaning the stress at which the steel starts to deform permanently, which in this case is 550 megapascals (MPa).
"TMX" stands for "Thermex"
This refers to the manufacturing process using a German patented technology called "Thermex" which enhances the steel's strength and ductility.
High-quality construction
Due to its superior properties, 550 TMX bars are considered ideal for large-scale construction projects where high strength and seismic resistance are crucial.
Applications
High-rise buildings, bridges, dams, industrial structures
