Corrosion Resistant TMT Bars

Corrosion is a deadly enemy of concrete structures. Corrosion is a slow killer, attacking houses, bridges, dams and industrial plants. Bridges and buildings have collapsed within 10 years of them getting built in costal areas and areas with high humidity. Humidity is the reason for corrosion. Wherever there is humidity, corrosion starts setting in. Humidity can come from costal breezes, sea water, saline subsoil as well as gaseous emissions in industrial areas. The fundamental reason why metals corrode is that the products of corrosion are more stable than the metal themselves. Rust is more stable compound than iron and nature tries to convert all metals to their oxide form. Once corrosion sets in, the volume of the steel increases due to rust and exerts pressure on the concrete, leading to cracking and ultimate failure of the structure.
