Project Title: To find a correspondence

between the microstructure of TMT

bars and the mechanical properties.
The project is aimed to find out a relationship
between the microstructure of the TMT bars the
mechanical properties that are supplied by the
manufacturers. The outer shell microstructure of
tempered martensite has hardness that varies
with carbon content and the inner core has a
microstructure of ferrite pearlite whose
percentages vary with amount of carbon present
and the percentages of different alloying elements.
This project aims to find out a direct relationship
between these variables. Also corrosion properties
with varying composition and microstructure is
aimed to be evaluated so as to give a clearer
picture about the use of these rebars.
TMT samples of the same grades supplied by
different manufacturers are required to obtain the
required results.
