Fe 500D & Fe 550D Grade TMT Bars for Stronger Construction-APL Apollo SG Infra

What is APL Apollo SG Infra?

Fe 500D and Fe 550D is a premium range of D Grade steel bars, specifically engineered for high-load bearing and earthquake-resistant structures. These bars are available in Fe 550D steel & Fe 500D grades-ideal for modern infrastructure, commercial complexes, and seismic-prone zones.

With advanced rib patterns, consistent elongation, and lower impurity content, SG Infra bars meet both IS 1786:2008 and global construction standards. Whether you’re building high-rises, bridges, or residential structures, SG Infra ensures strength with safety

  • Fe 500D is more flexible, making it ideal for residential and seismic zones.

  • Fe 550D offers greater strength with reduced steel consumption, perfect for mega infrastructure projects.

Fe 500D & Fe 550D Steel Specification

Both grades under APL Apollo SG Infra are manufactured using thermo-mechanical treatment, which gives these bars:

    • Higher strength without sacrificing ductility
    • Excellent weldability with no loss of strength
    • Superior fatigue resistance
    • Rust and corrosion resistance with low carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur content
    • Uniform elongation and stress handling

Fe 500D Meaning – Explained Simply

“Fe” stands for Iron, and 500D refers to:
• 500: Minimum yield strength (500 N/mm²)
• D: Higher ductility grade (greater elongation than standard Fe 500)
This makes Fe 500D TMT bars suitable for zones prone to earthquakes and thermal variations, where flexibility saves lives

Where Are SG Infra Steel Grades TMT Bars Used?

  • Residential RCC structures (slabs, columns, beams)
  • Bridges and flyovers
  • Metro and tunnel projects
  • Industrial warehouses and power plants
  • Commercial complexes
  • Coastal and high humidity zones

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

FAQ Accordion
Q1. What is 550D steel used for?
Fe 550D TMT bars are ideal for bridges, highways, airports, and high-rise buildings where high tensile strength is required.
Q2. What is the difference between 500D and 550D steel?
Fe 550D has higher yield strength than Fe 500D, meaning you can use less steel for the same load-bearing, though Fe 500D is slightly more ductile.
Q3. Which grade of TMT bar is best?
Fe 500D is best for general and seismic constructions. Fe 550D is suited for infrastructure projects needing extra strength.
Q4. What is the meaning of Fe 500D?
It means the bar has a 500 N/mm² minimum yield strength with high ductility (D-grade).
Q5. Where to buy Fe 550D or Fe 500D TMT bars in India?
You can purchase from SG Mart – an authorized supplier of APL Apollo SG Infra TMT bars across India.
