Benefits
Superior weldability
The low carbon content makes the rebars welding-friendly. One can butt-weld or lap-weld them.
High load-bearing capacity
The controlled thermo-mechanical treatment results in TMT bars with a uniform and thick tempered martensite rim and a ferrite pearlite centre for greater load-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance.
Corrosion-resistant
As these rebars are made with Thermo Mechanical Treatment (TMT) method, they are residual-stress free. This results in superior corrosion resistance.
Unbeatable ductility
With a unique microstructure, Fe500D has excellent bendability. The rebars can be bent to exact angles around mandrels.
Elongation advantage
Adding to the strength is the higher elongation compared to ordinary TMT bars.
Super strong
The high-on-strength TMT bars make concrete structures stronger by up to 20% which means savings in steel consumption.

Specifications
Made from the best prime billets using German Turbo Quench® technology, the BEEKAY Turbo Fe500D rebars bring a mix of superior strength and high ductility. This ensures a longer life for the concrete reinforcement structures and high earthquake resistance compared to CTD bars. The deep ribbed design with closer rib spacing achieved through computer-controlled CNC machines creates better bonding between steel and concrete. Thus, you get ‘Max strength, Max ductility and Max bond’ with BEEKAY Turbo Fe500D.
Upgraded infrastructure and state-of-the-art plants ensure that the rebars have just the right proportion of sulphur and phosphorus. This gives them greater thermal stability and makes them more earthquake resistant.
The rebars meet and surpass the IS:1786 benchmarks.

Our Process
What happens when experience meets modern technology? A product like BEEKAY Turbo TMT is born.
High on quality, features and credibility, BEEKAY Turbo TMT is the combined output of a fifty-year-old legacy and the most modern technology. The rebars made with Turbo Quench® technology from Germany, are produced in our state-of-the-art plants. All under careful supervision of our highly experienced engineers and metallurgists.
At first the hot-rolled bar is quenched by a special water gush spray system. The spray system cools the surface of the bar. This leads to a martensitic rim on the outside and a hot, austenitic core on the inside.
While the bar remains cold externally, the hot core continues transferring its heat to it. Thus, the outer layer gets tempered and is called ‘tempered martensite’. The inner layer remains austenitic at this stage.
The final stage ends at the automatic cooling bed. The austenitic core gets transformed into a ductile ferrite-pearlite structure here. Thus, the end product, BEEKAY Turbo Fe500D, is a mix of a strong outer layer and a softer centre that makes the rebar more ductile.
