What is “COR-TEN” steel?

“COR-TEN” is a US Steel trade name for ASTM A588. Corrosion Resistant Steel (often written without the hyphen as Corten) is a weather resistant steel grade which could more accurately be termed as an “Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steel”.
The original COR-TEN received the standard designation A 242 (“COR-TEN A”) from the ASTM International standards group. Newer ASTM grades are A 588 (“COR-TEN B”) and A 606 for thin sheet. All alloys are in common production and use.

Characteristic

Corten steel is a copper chromium alloy steel – this alloy displays a greater level of resistance to atmospheric weathering when compared to other unalloyed steels. Corten steel which were developed to eliminate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years. It’s chemical composition promotes the early formation of an adhering protective layer of rust when exposed to the elements.
