Product Details
Weathering steel, also known as Corten steel, is a type of high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel that forms a stable rust layer when exposed to outdoor conditions. This protective layer reduces the need for painting or coatings while giving the steel a distinctive reddish-brown appearance.
🔹 Key Features of Weathering Steel
Corrosion Resistance: Naturally forms a protective oxide layer (patina) that prevents deep rusting.
High Strength: Maintains mechanical properties even in harsh outdoor environments.
Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep compared to conventional carbon steel.
Aesthetic Appeal: Rusted surface provides a unique industrial and natural look.
🔹 Common Grades
| Grade | Description | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| A588 | High-strength, low-alloy steel | Bridges, structural frameworks |
| A242 | Weather-resistant steel for architectural applications | Facades, panels, exterior design |
| SPA-H / Q355NH | Hot-rolled weathering steel | Landscaping, industrial structures |
| 09CuPCrNi-A | Weather-resistant steel with copper, chromium, nickel | Decorative panels, outdoor installations |
🔹 Typical Sheet and Plate Dimensions
| Type | Thickness (mm) | Width (mm) | Length (mm) | Form |
