Sulphur and Phosphorus in TMT Reinforcement steel bars are always frowned upon. Welcome to the series of in-depth analyses and discussions on ‘the effects of S & P in TMT Steel bars’ and why they aren’t always the bad guys!

Steel is a widely used material in construction and engineering projects due to its strength, durability, and flexibility. However, reinforcement steel bars must be composed of specific elements to ensure the integrity of the structure being built. Sulphur and phosphorus are two such elements that can have both positive and negative effects on the properties of reinforcement steel bars. In this series of shorticles (short-articles), we will explore how these elements impact reinforcement steel bars, what advantages there are to using them, their long-term effects on corrosion resistance and ductility, as well as what Indian standard specifications exist for their use. 

The series will be posted into seven different shorticles, where each day we will cover a topic from the S & P series.
