Air Cooled Rebar Mesh for RC Structural Plate Members

TATA Steel – India

Generally welded wire meshes produced from cold drawing of wires have high strength but fall
behind in ductility parameters such as elongation (%) and UTS/YS ratio compared to TMT bars. Therefore, usage of welded wire mesh was limited to selected applications in concrete structures.
Rebar mesh manufactured using Tata Steel’s air-cooled technology demonstrates high ductility, characterized by improved elongation and an enhanced tensile-to-yield strength ratio. This performance makes it particularly
suitable for application in earthquake-resistant structures.

Characteristics

Enhanced Elongation
– 16% elongation ensures seismic suitability.
Fast and Cost-Effective Construction
– Prefabricated mesh reduces fabrication time, on-site labor, and overall costs.
Durable Options Available
– Corrosion-resistant variants extend lifespan in harsh conditions.
Sustainable Solution
– Minimizes material waste and construction impact compared to traditional TMT mesh.
