MS Agarwal Foundries sets up TMT mill in Hyderabad

It is reported that MS Agarwal Foundries has set up a manufacturing plant in Hyderabad in technical collaboration with steelmaker Hennegsdorfer Stahl Engineering Gmbh to manufacture TMT bars called MS Thermex (Germany) TMT bars.

The release said that “MS Agarwal Foundries manufactures TMT bars with its own MS billets. It maintains carbon levels at much lower than the specification of BIS, which results in excellent ductility, high bendability, better corrosion resistance and superior weldability. The other undesirable impurities like sulphur and phosphorous that impair the overall longevity of rebar inside construction are also maintained at much lower than specification in MS Thermex. This is possible because of the purity of steel of MS Thermex which is 100% processed through the primary steel making route.”
