  This post explores the historical progression of TMT bars and highlights the latest innovations and advancements in TMT bar technology. It specifically focuses on how Radha TMT has contributed to this evolution, showcasing its role as an industry leader in innovation.   History and Evolution of TMT Bars:   Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars have undergone significant evolution since their inception. Initially, reinforced concrete structures relied on plain round bars for reinforcement, which were prone to corrosion and lacked sufficient strength. The introduction of ribbed bars provided better adhesion between concrete and steel, enhancing structural integrity. However, these bars still faced issues such as surface cracks and brittle behavior under tension.   In the 1960s, the concept of heat treatment combined with mechanical deformation emerged, leading to the development of TMT bars . This process involves heating the steel billets to a specific temperature, foll
