Whenever you buy\u00a0TMT steel rods\u00a0<\/a><\/b>for your construction, I’m pretty sure that you simply would have noticed the word \u2018Fe 500\u2019 or \u2018Fe 500D\u2019 mentioned after the name.<\/p>\n


Ever wondered what does this represent or signify?<\/span>
Well, it represents the Grade of the TMT steel rod i.e., the strength of the steel is defined by its grade. Higher the grade of the steel the stronger it’ll be.<\/span>

To be more precise, the \u2018Fe\u2019 represents the chemical name of iron while the amount \u2018500 or 550 or 600\u2019 measures the minimum stress yield in N\/m2, and eventually the letter \u2018D\u2019 signifies the ductility of the steel.<\/span>

So<\/span>\u00a0what’s the difference between Fe 500 and Fe 500D Grade TMT steel?<\/strong>
Fe 500 slightly differs from Fe 500D Grade in both its physical and chemical properties.<\/span>

Even though the YTS ratio remains an equivalent for both, the elongation percentage varies i.e., higher the elongation you are the better are going to be the power of the\u00a0<\/span>TMT steel<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to perform in extreme conditions.<\/span>

Reduction in carbon content improves the weld-ability property of the steel, while the reduced impure contents of phosphorous & sulfur make the TMT rods more tough and ductile.<\/span>

So,\u00a0<\/span>Which may be a better Fe 500 Grade TMT or Fe 500D Grade TMT?<\/strong>
From the above two tables, we’ve clearly understood the essential difference between the 2 grades of steel, and from these observations, we will easily state the Fe 500D Grade TMT steel is the best performing than Fe 500 Grade.<\/span>

What makes 500D far better\u00a0<\/span>steel<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is its higher resistance to super seismic activities like earthquake and its lower levels of carbon ensure easier & better welder-ability.<\/span>

I hope our article has helped you understand the difference between the Fe 500 and 500D grade steel and also know which is best for your construction.<\/span>
