Key Features of RSM 500W
Product Range
- High design yield strength of 500 MPa (72500 psi) (Min.)
- Requires 15% less steel in construction compared to grade 60 rebars available in the market.
- The bars have superior bend-ability & can be safely bent without cracking.
- All bar sizes are rolled to a very close tolerance only possible on a fully computerized rolling mill so that customers get more meters of steel per ton – more value for money without having to sacrifice structural integrity. Estimated savings: 0.5%.
- De-scaled bars have better bonding with concrete and less wastage at site. Estimated savings 0.5%.
- RSM 500 W TMT bar is safely weldable under field conditions. Another 0.5% to 1.5% of steel is saved by avoiding large splices.
- The bars are needle-straight, thanks to the QTB process – no need for straightening on the construction site.
QTB Process
RSM 500 W rebars are hot-rolled from prime quality steel billets & subjected to on-line thermo-mechanical treatment in three successive stages.
Quenching :
The hot rolled bar leaving the final mill stand is rapidly quenched by high pressure water in special venturi tubes. This hardens the surface of the bar to a depth optimized for each section through formation of martensitic rim, while the core remains hot and austenitic.
Self Tempering :
As the bar leaves the quenching venturi tube the core remains hot compared to the surface, allowing heat to flow from the core to the surface which causes tempering of the outer martensitic layer into a structure called Tempered Martensite. The core still remains austenitic at this stage.
Atmospheric Cooling:
This takes place on the cooling bed, where the austenitic core is transformed into a ductile ferrite-pearlite structure. Thus the final structure consists of an optimum combination of strong outer layer (tempered martensite) with a ductile core (ferrite-pearlite). This gives RSM 500 W Bars a unique combination of high strength and ductility.
Rahim Super Extreme Ltd. promises to ensure stake holders & share holders the same level of commitment in excellence, in product, price, grade, quality & benefits which has been ensured by Rahim Steel since 1958.
