Sail seqr TMT Price Q&A

SAIL SeQR (pronounced secure) is a high-end product of TMT (thermo-mechanically treated) rebars by the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), a Maharatna PSU. The SeQR bars are designed to be highly ductile, strong, seismic resistant, and weldable, making them suitable in earthquake-prone areas. SeQR is produced from virgin iron ore by advanced rolling mills and is manufactured in accordance with IS 1786 standards (Fe 500D) and ensures high performance in safe construction.

SAIL SeQR TMT Bars Top 10 FAQs

1. What is SAIL SeQR?

SAIL SeQR TMT bars are a special form of TMT reinforcement with greater rebendability and earthquake resistance. Their name, SeQR, emphasizes the Seismic Quality Reinforcement, which means that they can resist natural disasters.

2. What is the SeQR TMT history?

SeQR is a product of the modernization of SAIL in its integrated steel plants such as Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur, Rourkela, and IISCO. These improvements added new-generation rolling mills that could handle HYQST processing and fine rib profiling, and the SeQR product was launched.

3. Who is the owner and producer of SeQR?
The Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), a central PSU of the Government of India, manufactures SeQR. SAIL is one of the largest steelmakers in India, and it has integrated operations from ore mining to finished steel production.

4. Which products fall under SeQR?
The SeQR product consists of Fe 500D-grade TMT rebars, which are optimized in terms of seismic resistance. These bars are thermo-mechanically processed, quenched, and self-tempered to produce a hard martensitic surface and ductile ferrite/pearlite interior.

5. What is the price of SeQR bars?
Precise price lists are not online. SeQR bars are marketed via regional offices, warehouses, distributors, and steel marts. The price is region-specific, diameter-specific, and volume-specific, but SeQR is competitively priced against standard Fe 500D bars.

6. SeQR bars are available where?
SeQR bars are distributed all over the country by the pan-India network of SAIL, comprising four regional offices, 37 branch sales offices, 10 customer contact offices, and 45 warehouses. This guarantees the large supply of residential and infrastructure projects.

7. What is the grade of SeQR TMT?
SeQR complies with IS 1786:2008 Grade Fe 500D, and its chemical and mechanical properties are above the minimum requirements. They exhibit:

1. YS 500 MPa
2. Tensile strength is up to 650 MPa.
3. UTS/YS ratio of ~1.16
4. Elongation 18% or more

8. What are the mechanical and physical properties?
SeQR bars are designed to be strong, ductile, and safe:

1. Combined strength and flexibility by outer martensitic sheath & ductile core
2. Superior energy absorption under extreme loads is made possible by a high UTS/YS ratio (~1.16).
3. Improved bendability and rebending, able to bend on 2D and 3D mandrels—safer than standard specs
4. Clean steel: Low sulfur and phosphorus for internal soundness and uniform ductility
5. Strong bonding with concrete is ensured by a uniform rib pattern.
6. Improved weldability that does not require preheating
7. Fire resistance and corrosion resistance because of thick tempered rims

9. What are the sizes?
SeQR rebars are manufactured in standard 12 m lengths and these rationalized diameters:

1. 8 mm (0.39 kg/m)
2. 10 mm (0.62 kg/m)
3. 12 mm (0.89 kg/m)
4. 16 mm (1.58 kg/m)
5. 20 mm (2.47 kg/m)
