Quenching and Self-Tempering (QST) Process
Quenching:Immediately after the hot rolling process, the steel bars are rapidly cooled using water sprays. This rapid cooling, or quenching, hardens the outer layer of the bar, forming a martensitic rim while the core remains hot and austenitic.

Being in the steel business for the last 30 years, Elegant Steel has established itself as India’s no1 QST bars and reliable name for construction steel with full product range of Iron and Steel in Kolkata, West Bengal.
QST (Quenched and Self-Tempered) bars offer several environmental advantages. Their high strength allows engineers to use less steel for the same structural performance, reducing raw material consumption and mining impacts. QST bars are produced through an efficient heat-treatment process that avoids additional alloying, lowering energy use and emissions during manufacturing. Their durability, corrosion resistance, and better seismic performance increase a structure’s lifespan, reducing the need for repairs or rebuilding. QST bars are also 100% recyclable, supporting a circular economy and helping cut overall carbon footprint in construction.
TMX steel is a high quality QST bar. Thermex technology is used for this. Thermex bars, unlike CTD bars, have a proven record resisting loss of strength at high temperatures as experienced during fires. Quenched & Self Tempered (QST) steel, can be described as a new-generation-high-strength steel having superior properties such as weldability, strength, ductility and tensile strength, which meets the highest international quality standards. Both Thermex and TMX are trademarks owned by H&K Rolling Mill Engineers Pvt. Ltd. in India.
QST was created in 1915.
