Corrosion refers to the damage caused by oxidization or by other chemical reactions on the surface/body of any substance (especially a metal). Withstanding this damage indicates a good corrosive resistance.
A Corrosion resistant rebar with a reduced rate of corrosion enhances total life of the structure from the time of construction.TMT bars carry a huge load of a complete structure and protect it against cracking. Hence are in forcing bar with improved corrosion resistance over traditional carbon steel reinforcing bar is definitely a better choice.
The advantages of Corrosion resistant TMT rebars over normal steel reinforcement bars being:
- Longer life against ordinary bars.
- Higher ductility and bending capacity.
- Easily Weld-able.
- More reliability in extreme conditions like groundwater salinity, acid particles in the air etc.
- Higher yield strength and hence can be used in seismic activity zones.
- Usable in construction along sewage drains and sewage treatment plants against the steel bar which has more chances to get damaged due to salts or acids or bases in sewage read more...
