TMT or HYSD: Which Bars Are Better For a Safer Home
TMT or Thermo Mechanical Treatment is a process that uses both heat treatment and mechanical deformation. These bars tend to have higher tensile strength and stress resistance. HYSD or High Yielding Strength Deformed are steel rods made with heat treatment. While applying heat, the bars are cold twisted for shaping. Steel bars used to be low on tensile strength and fragile hence did not garner much attention. Upon the release of HYSD bars, they became popular because of their residual stress, weldability, and corrosion resistance properties. However, over the years, the construction industry has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, …
