What Makes AMBA Shakti SD TMT Bars Sustainable?


AMBA Shakti SD TMT Bars are a testament to sustainable engineering. These super ductile bars are manufactured using controlled raw materials, ensuring minimal environmental impact from the source. Their earthquake-resistant qualities make them a reliable choice for seismic zones, contributing to the longevity and safety of structures.

One of the standout features of AMBA Shakti SD TMT Bars is the no-twist straight mill rolling process. This technique produces bars with no distortion, which not only enhances structural integrity but also reduces waste during production. The master bundle packaging of 3 MT ensures that there is no pilferage, optimizing material use and minimizing losses.

The use of CNC notching for uniformity in steel ensures better bonding with cement, which translates to less material required for the same strength. Moreover, high-speed steel (HSS) rolls contribute to a higher pass life, increased production, and a superior finish. Full automation of the mill allows for better quality control and enhanced productivity, making the production process more efficient and less resource-intensive.


A significant innovation in the production of AMBA Shakti SD TMT Bars is the hot charging technique, which eliminates the need for a reheating furnace (RF Furnace). This results in substantial energy savings and a reduction in the cost of production. The PLC-based controls further ensure precision and efficiency in the manufacturing process.


The TMT quenching process benefits from a sand filtration plant, leading to cleaner water usage and an improved finish of steel rebars. This not only contributes to a better product but also supports environmental conservation by reducing water pollution. With approximately a 20% saving in the cost of steel compared to local quality steel, AMBA Shakti SD TMT Bars offer an economical and sustainable option for construction needs.



How Do AMBA Shakti Flexion TMT Bars Compete with Sustainability?


AMBA Shakti Flexion TMT Bars share all the sustainable features of the SD variant, with additional benefits tailored for complex and critical structures such as high-rise buildings, dams, airports, and megastructures.


Produced through the Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF) route, these bars boast refined steel with purer chemistry and the removal of tramp elements that could compromise steel quality, such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.


The Flexion material's enhanced resistance to earthquakes makes it suitable for projects demanding the highest safety standards. By being produced by a smaller organization, AMBA Shakti Flexion TMT Bars can pass on the cost benefits saved on overheads to the consumer, offering a high-quality yet cost-effective solution for ambitious construction projects.
