Cost Effective : Use of Buland rebars results in savings of 10-20% compared to CTD bars for same work.
Fire Resistance : Unlike Torsteel and CTD rebars, TMT bars have high thermal stability. They are preferred choice when elevated temperature of 400-600 C may be encountered.
Earthquake Resistance : Buland TMT rebars with typical elongation of 16-25%, (well above the minimum 14.5% specified in IS 1786), are suitable for use even in earthquake zones 3,4 & 5.
Corrosion Resistant Properties : Controlled water cooling prevents the formation of coarse carbides which has been cited as the main cause for the corrosive nature of common bars. Another reason for better corrosion resistance properties is the abcense of surface torsional stresses caused by the cold twisting (Torsteel) process.
Weldability : Buland rebars with carbon content less than 0.25% can be used for butt and other weld joints without reduction in strength at the welding joint.
Bend Properties : Buland rebars have excellent bent properties due to the unique ductility (elongation values) obtained.
Strain Ageing : Due to unique manufacturing process and chemical composition, Buland TMT rebars show no tendency of embrittlement either during welding or cold deformation or cold deformation of welding joints.
Formability : Due to very high elongation value and consistent properties throughout the length of the bar, Buland TMT rebars have excellent workability and bend ability. |
