A588 Steel is a high strength, low alloy steel plate that was developed for use cases demanding higher strength and a longer life cycle. A588 is known for its atmospheric corrosion resistance thanks to a natural patina of rust that forms when exposed to outdoor weather conditions.

What is Corten Steel?
Corten steel is also known as weathering steel. Corten steel is also referred as cor-ten steel. Corten steel is a type of alloy steel which gets a stable rust like appearance when it is exposed to weather.On getting exposed to weather it forms a rust like appearance (which is why it is known as weathering steel) which is permanent or stable which eliminates the need for painting it.
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.
Corten steel ASTM A588 / A242 / A606 Plate & Sheet has a wide application. They are used where the environment is highly corrosive. Highly Corrosive Corten Steel ASTM Plate & Sheet are used in many industries like chemical plants, fertilizer plants, power plants, sugar mills, and many other plants and industries which involves processing.
