Are TMT bars corrosion-resistant?

Yes, TMT bars are corrosion-resistant. TMT stands for Thermo-Mechanically Treated, a process that involves subjecting the steel bars to intense heat followed by rapid quenching, which forms a hardened outer layer. This layer acts as a protective barrier against corrosion, ensuring the longevity and durability of the TMT bars, even in harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, proper coating and maintenance further enhance their corrosion resistance, making TMT bars a preferred choice for construction projects where exposure to moisture and other corrosive elements is a concern.
