Our Manufacturing Process
At Mountain Steels Pvt. Ltd., we employ a meticulous and advanced manufacturing process to produce our high-quality Agniveer TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated) steel bars. Our process ensures enhanced strength, ductility, and durability in every bar we produce. Here’s a detailed look at each step in our process:
1. Selection of Raw Materials
The process begins with the careful selection and production of high-quality billets in our own induction furnace. Our highly trained metallurgists and quality control specialists ensure that the optimal chemical composition is maintained. These billets undergo rigorous testing using a computerized spectrometer in our state-of-the-art laboratory.
2. CCM Operation
Continuous Casting Machine (CCM) transfers the billets to the rolling mill. Continuous casting offers several advantages over traditional ingot casting methods, including higher production rates, improved product quality, and reduced energy consumption. This technology is crucial in modern steelmaking, allowing for efficient and cost-effective production.
3. Precision Rolling
4. Quenching
After the initial rolling process, the steel bars are rapidly cooled by passing them through a high-pressure water spray system. This rapid quenching stage, known as quenching, causes the outer surface of the bars to cool quickly while the inner core remains hot. This results in the formation of a hardened outer layer and a relatively softer inner core.
5. Tempering
Following quenching, the bars undergo a controlled heating process known as tempering. The bars are allowed to cool in the ambient air, which causes the heat from the inner core to transfer to the hardened outer layer. This results in the formation of a tempered martensitic structure throughout the bar, enhancing its overall strength and durability.
