Birla TMT Fe 500 TMT Bar Birla Fe 500 TMT Bar - 16 mm is a thermo-mechanically treated high-strength reinforcing bar conforming to IS 1786:2008, with a 16 mm nominal diameter supplied in standard 12 m lengths. Manufactured using the quench-and-self-temper (QST) process, it achieves a minimum yield strength of 500 MPa, UTS of 545 MPa, and elongation of 12%, making it reliable for medium-duty reinforced concrete construction and infrastructure. The hard martensitic outer rim and tough ferritic-pearlitic core give this bar its signature combination of strength, ductility, and superior bond performance in reinforced concrete.
