Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars conform to IS 1786:2008. They are available in Fe500, Fe500D , Fe600 grade under regular earth quake resistant & CRS (Corrosion Resistant) varieties. Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars are available in 8 to 56 mm sizes

Definitely not! only 100% automated technology ensures a perfect steel bar before passing through German QST technology. Without a good steel bar, no technology can assure consistent quality. At Kamachi, we invite any and everybody to visit and study the technology and compare with the best !

THERMEX Quenching & Self-Tempering Technology is offered by H&K Rolling Mill Engineers Pvt. Ltd. under exclusive & perpetual rights from M/s Hennigsdorfer Stahl Engineering Gmbh, Germany.

Thermex Re-bars have a tempered martensite periphery with fine grain of ferrite pearlite at the core.

The search for a process better than CTD led to the development of THERMEX Technology - a Quenching & Self Tempering (QST)process; and the first choice worldwide.

• Superior product with consistent properties
• High strength combined with high ductility
• Better corrosion resistance
• Better resistance to high temperatures, in the case of fires
• Easy manufacture of different strengths of Re-bars from nearly the same steel grades
• Saving of 10-20% in steel consumption when using Thermex 500 in place of CTD Re-bars
• Better fatigue resistance
• Better weldability
• Easy and less construction time
• Lastly, an ideal choice for seismic zones due to excellent ductility. This is of great importance for India because nearly 60% of the country falls in the high seismic hazard category.

Kamachi TMT^TM TMT Re-bars are hot rolled from concast route blooms and pass through one of the most advance rolling technologies imported from The MWE Magdeburger Walzwerk Engineering GmbH. Unique slit technology ensures that minimum of 3 bars of 8mm size are produced at a time. This is possible, only if the blooms are of the finest quality. The two steps involved in manufacturing of Kamachi TMT Re-bars are :

• Step 1: Quenching
  The hot rolled bar leaves the finishing mill stand at 950℃ which is rapidly quenched by split style nozzle cooling process. This cools the re-bars to around 500℃ and converts the surface layer to martensite, which causes it to shrink, pressurizing the core to form the required crystal structures, while the core remains hot and austenitic.
• Step 2: Self Tempering and Atmospheric Cooling:
  As the bar leaves the quenching box with a consistent temperature gradient across its cross section, it cools and heat flows from the center to its surface. Parallely, the bar heat and pressure forms an intermediate ring of martensite. Finally, the cooling bed built at 5mtr level above ground ensures even atmospheric cooling from all sides to achieve a tempered martensite periphery with fine grain of ferrite pearlite at the core.

The following points give Kamachi TMT™ Re-bars an advantage over their competitors:

• Virgin Steel + 100% automated German Mill + German QST process : need we say anything more ?
• BETTER CORE. BETTER STEEL
  Made from internationally patented German technology that ensures superior core formation for best quality TMT re-bars. Kamachi TMT Re-bars have tempered martensite periphery with fine grain of ferrite pearlite at the core.
• EVERY BAR TESTED AND TRACKED
  Each TMT bar can be backtracked to the specific heat and the quality of superior blooms that it was rolled from. That and our hi-tech automatic monitoring system ensure complete peace of mind.
• UNMATCHED CONSISTENCY UNRIVALLED STEEL.
  Advanced slit technology with low rolling time allows production of three 8 mm bars at the same time with the same consistency. This is possible only if the blooms are of the highest quality
• PRIME RAW MATERIAL. PREMIUM TMT.
  TMT^TM Re-bars are produced from clean steel blooms in house via the DRI + LRF route with computer controlled processes for consistent steel chemistry. They are hot rolled with both German Rolling Mill and German TMT technology unlike regular bars with none or part of these facilities.

Some of the other features :

• Cost Savings: Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars save more than 10% of steel consumption compared to ordinary bars. This is made possible due to the higher strength of the bars which lead to lesser steel requirements for a given area.
• Earthquake Resistance: During earthquakes, the structure receives severe shock / impact loading. The area under the engineering ‘stress – strain’ curve represents the energy absorbed by the steel before it fractures. As stress is first inflicted on the re-bar before passing on to other materials, Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars come with high UTS/YS ratio signifying its ability to handle this extreme stress and hence protecting the integrity of the structure.
• Durability: Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars have lower levels of Sulphur and Phosphorous than stated in IS standards. Excess levels of Sulphur leads to “hot shortness” wherein the melting point of steel is lowered, leading to failure under extreme high temperature conditions. Excess level of Phosphorus leads to cold shortness wherein the steel becomes brittle under extremely cold conditions and leads to cracking.
• Bond Strength: Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars provide uniform and precise parallel rib patterns created by computer controlled notch machines to assure excellent bonding with concrete.
• Bendability: Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars provide higher than Indian Standards elongation enabling absorption of high stress levels without which the bar would fail due to fracture. This is particularly essential for constructions in the seismic zones.
• Weld-ability: Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars contain low carbon equivalent and is directly related to hydrogen induced cold cracking which is the most common weld defect for steel.
• Corrosion Resistant: Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars are produced with specific chemistry to handle corrosion. By adding special alloys like Chromium, Copper and Silicon, the bars can withstand longer compared to ordinary grades.

Kamachi TMT bar is the fastest growing TMT bar brand in Southern India with Multiple National Level Quality Awards, Reputed business houses trust, Reputed MES, Metro rail, Engineers India limited approvals.

While every company produces the same quality TMT bars, only Kamachi TMT Re-bars can assure that every single piece produced maintains the same quality. This is ensured by installing the state of the art; DCS and PLC controlled production facilities. Test certificate is provided with every bar which can be cross checked at any government-accredited lab for quality verifications.

Also, Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars are made in South India’s first and only integrated factory dedicated for TMT Re-bar manufacturing only. Right from processing Virgin iron ore from the mines: creating blooms: hot charging and rolling along with the Thermo Mechanical Treatment, it happens in a single quality controlled atmosphere to ensure that every bar bearing the Kamachi Trade mark, matches its claim of unbeatable quality.

Every Kamachi TMT^TM Re-bars is embossed with “Kamachi 500” along with the size/section and the ISI logo.
