product description

Corten Steel ASTM A242, A588, A606, S355J0WP/S355J2WP Plates

Corten Steel is a material with high aesthetic value that turns the final product into a unique and exclusive specimen. Corten steel is high-resistance self-passivating alloy containing copper, chrome and phosphorus, characterised by a high resistance to corrosion and to tensile yield; these alloys are self-protective through the formation of a superficial coating that prevents the progressive extending of the corrosion process. Producing Corten steel is increasingly accepted within the industry, however, there are some factors to consider in the choice of materials:

• Geographical Location

• Corrosivity of the Industrial Area

• Field of Use

Corten steel offering a variety of grades such as ASTM A242, A588, A606, and S355J0WP/S355J2WP are amongst the most popular. These materials can be used for structural elements such as Bridges, rooftops, and other architecture structures. While ASTM A242 steel is the most economic corrosion-resistant alloy, A588 is suitable for structural applications but not for ones needing a lot of corrosion resistance. Therefore, A588 grade is often used in urban atmospheres for bridges and other architectural structures.

Moreover, A606 is used in the heavy industrial urban environment, and often called the ‘four seasons steel': regardless of the weather and climate, they are designed to maintain its structural properties intact, while S355J0WP/S355J2WP can both be used in cold atmospheres and applications exposed to high range of temperatures. Despite being usually used in these ambient conditions, they can also be used in a variety of industrial applications.

Due to its versatility, adapting itself to multiple fields of use, Corten steel is easy to weld and it can provide long lasting protection even in the most extreme conditions. In a nutshell, this material presents a great combination of durability, flexibility and sustainability that makes it an ideal choice for any weathering steel application.

Thanks to its well-rounded combination of qualities, Corten steel is considered extremely popular among professional exporter for industries and structural applications. Its overall strength, outstanding corrosion resistance and durability makes it the best choice for shipbuilding, engineering and weathering steel in industrial application and for structures requiring a long-lasting high protection.
