Products
Star Steels produces a variety of steel products used in the construction, fabrication, and engineering industries.
Star TMT (High Tensile) Rebars
Star Steels’ primary product is its unique High Tensile Star TMT Rebar. With tightly controlled chemistry, thermomechanical treatment, Star TMT stands out from other steel rebar and provides enhanced safety for your buildings.
Size Range:
- Diameter: 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 32 mm
Length: 12 meters
Other sizes available upon request
All sizes comply with Ghanaian standards and are subject to allowed tolerances
Chemical Composition:
| Carbon (C) | Manganese (Mn) | Sulphur (S) | Phosphorus (P) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.30% max | 0.60% min | 0.05% max | 0.05% max |
Physical Properties:
Yield Strength: 500 N/mm2 (Minimum)
Ultimate Tensile Strength: 550 N/mm2 (Minimum)
Elongation: 14% (Minimum)
Thermomechanical Treatment (TMT):
The TMT quenching process increases the strength of the rebar. Through water-cooling, the material’s surface layer is converted to a strong, tough, tempered martensite while the core remains ductile. Star Steels uses stateof- the-art, patented German technology for its quenching process.
Wire Products
Star Steels is one of the leading manufacturers of steel wire products in Ghana. Manufactured using state of the art machinery, our wire products are a symbol of strength and durability.
Binding Wire
Whether you need it for securing rebar in construction projects or for bundling and packaging, our binding wire provides reliable performance and ease of use.
Common Nails
Our common nails are designed to provide superior holding power and durability, making them perfect for a wide range of construction and woodworking applications.
Sizes Available:
1 inch to 5 inches in length
Features :
- • Excellent tensile strength
- • High resistance to corrosion
- • Flexible and easy to handle
- • Uniform thickness and smooth finish
Grinding Media Balls
Star Steels manufactures durable and efficient forged grinding media balls to meet the demands of the mining industry.
Our forged grinding media balls are engineered to provide optimal performance in the grinding processes of mining operations. These balls are essential for ensuring efficient and effective grinding of ores, leading to higher productivity and better extraction rates.
Comparison Chart
| Properties | Star TMT | Other Rebar |
|---|---|---|
| Integrated Production | Full control over melting and rolling quality | Not all rebars in Ghana are manufactured by a fully integrated process |
| Thermomechanical Treatment | Every rebar undergoes thermomechanical quenching for enhanced strength | May have lower tensile strength due to the absence of the quenching process |
| Bendability | Star TMT Rebar can be bent and rebent without cracking or any surface defects | Many rebar can crack under bending and re-bending conditions |
| Weldability | Star TMT can be welded without any problems and displays high bond strength | Often rebar can crack at the point of welding if its chemistry is not properly controlled |
Production Process
Scrap metal is sourced for recycling from local community.
Scrap is heated to 1500 celsius in an induction furnace until it melts and impurities evaporate
A dedicated chemist checks the molten metal’s quality and adds necessary elements
Molten Metal is then poured into an automatic continuous casting machine
Scrap is hereby converted into Steel Billets of uniform and consistent quality
Steel Billets are reheated to 1200 celsius to improve malleability
Hot Billets are passed through a series of rolls at up to 60kmph to form and structural products in various sizes
TMT Rebar is passed through a licensed Thermex quenching system - German technology for producing high tensile steel
Finished material is then allowed to slowly cool down to achieve the desired physical properties
Every single piece of finished product is visually inspected before dispatch. A sample is tested in our laboratory every 15 mins
Finished products are bundled and labeled neatly for easy dispatch and trasportation
Quality
In order to consistently manufacture steel bars that can withstand the roughest of environments and that exceed international quality standards, Star Steels Ltd. operates an in-house physical and chemical laboratory to continually monitor quality standards. Production samples are systematically tested periodically to ensure that they adhere to our stringent criteria.
Every product undergoes thorough testing, including chemical analysis and durability assessments, to ensure compliance with local and international standards. This ensures our grinding media and steel products can withstand tough conditions, delivering reliable performance. Our commitment to quality also extends to our service. We collaborate with clients to understand their needs, offering tailored solutions that enhance their operations. At Star Steels, quality is not just a promise; it’s our guarantee.
We test our production every 15 minutes to ensure that every piece of steel coming off our lines is of the highest quality. .
Responsibility
Star Steels aims to be a responsible citizen of Ghana and provide strength and safety not just through its steel, but also through its wider social efforts. In line with our commitment towards social responsibility, we conduct various programs to uplift the society of Ghana.
Environment:
As a recycling company, Star Steels uses waste scrap as its raw material – reducing its carbon footprint. Moreover, we have installed one of the largest fume extraction systems in the country, ensuring that all waste gases are properly cleaned and treated before they are released into the environment.
Education:
We believe that education is the backbone of every country’s socioeconomic growth and development. We conduct various programs for university students to visit our factory and learn about factory operations & steelmaking. Such practices will allow Ghana to slowly become self-dependant and reduce the need for expatriate workers.
Culture:
Along with the economy, culture is essential strength for any country. Ghana’s rich and diverse history is to be celebrated. We facilitate and sponsor various cultural programs for Ghanaian people to showcase their colourful history.
