Cut and Bend steel is a prefabricated steel reinforcement material used in construction projects. It is produced by cutting and bending steel bars according to specific sizes and shapes as required by the project specifications.
AF Star is a pioneering brand in the steel industry and is one of the first steel industries in the country to introduce Cut and Bend TMT bars for the first time. This innovation has revolutionised the way steel reinforcement is prepared for construction projects, making it more efficient, accurate, and cost-effective.
We at MS Agarwal have been at the forefront of solving customer problems. We envisioned initially that construction in future would be affected by labour shortage and to overcome this issue, we are one of the first in the country to introduce the concept of Cut & Bend steel.
In Cut & Bend Steel, the customer has to just provide us with the drawings and we in turn make a Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) which goes to the customer for approval and once approved we manufacture steel as per customized shapes and forms, saving customer labour expenses to cut and bend steel which saves valuable time, pilferage, wastage etc.
Cut and Bend steel can be used in a variety of construction applications, including reinforced concrete structures, bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure projects. Its use can help reduce construction time and labour costs, as well as improve the quality and precision of the finished product.
We produce our steel in a state-of-the-art factory that has received steel imports from Schnell, Italy. The Cut & Bend range provided by the company satisfies the highest needs of diverse infrastructure and construction firms.
AF Star's commitment to innovation and excellence has made it one of the leading brands in the steel industry, and its introduction of Cut and Bend TMT bars has set a new standard for the preparation of steel reinforcement in construction projects.
Features
High-Quality Manufacturing
Cut and Bend TMT bars are manufactured using advanced technology and a controlled process that ensures high quality and consistent mechanical properties. They are made from high-strength steel and undergo a thermo-mechanical treatment to enhance their strength and durability.
Customized Shapes and Sizes
Cut and Bend TMT bars are available in various pre-determined shapes and sizes. These bars can be customized according to the specific requirements of a construction project, enabling easy integration into the structure and minimizing wastage.
Accurate Cutting and Bending
Automation in the steel production process for Cut and Bend TMT bars ensures a high degree of precision in the degree of bend and accuracy up to +/- 1 mm. This eliminates the need for on-site cutting and bending, saving time, manual work, and reducing the chances of errors during installation.
Corrosion Resistance
The steel used in Cut and Bend TMT bars is typically coated with anti-corrosive materials, such as epoxy or zinc, which protect them from rusting and deterioration caused by moisture and exposure to the elements.
High Strength and Ductility
Cut and Bend TMT bars have high tensile strength, which makes them capable of withstanding heavy loads and structural stresses. Additionally, they exhibit good ductility, allowing them to deform without breaking under excessive loads.
Benefits
Time and Labour Savings
Using pre-cut and pre-bent TMT bars significantly reduces the time and labour required on-site for cutting and shaping. This leads to faster construction progress, improved project timelines, and cost savings in terms of reduced labour expenses.
Enhanced Structural Integrity
Cut and Bend TMT bars are manufactured to precise dimensions, ensuring accurate reinforcement placement within the concrete structure. This results in improved structural integrity, minimizing the risk of cracks, failures, and providing a longer lifespan for the construction.
Cost Efficiency
Although Cut and Bend TMT bars may have a slightly higher upfront cost compared to traditional bars, the overall cost savings can be significant due to reduced labour, minimized wastage, and improved construction efficiency. The long-term durability and low maintenance requirements of TMT bars also contribute to cost-effectiveness.
Structural Design Flexibility
Cut and Bend TMT bars offer design flexibility, allowing engineers and architects to create complex and innovative structural designs with ease.
Zero Wastage
With Cut and Bend TMT bars, steel is cut and bent precisely according to the blueprint's specifications. This eliminates any wastage of materials, as the rebars are delivered in the required shapes and lengths. Zero waste not only reduces project costs but also contributes to sustainable construction practices by minimizing material waste.
