The rust forms a layer of protective coating in it. Corten steel is usually known for its high tensile strength and corrosion resistance properties. Corten steel grade A242 is known as Corten A , And Corten Steel grade A588 Is Known As Corten B. the name Cor-Ten is been registered by the US steel. Corten Steel Is Available In plate and tube Form.
