product description

Corten steel sheet is a type of weather resistant steel that provides a unique appearance as it ages. This unique look is a result of the corten steel sheet's chemical composition and its interaction with oxygen, moisture and other elements in the atmosphere, forming a protective layer of rust on the surface of the metal. This rust layer gives the material a stunning orange-brown finish, while still maintaining the inherent strength and durability of steel.

The ASTM A588 grade K corten steel sheet offers excellent corrosion resistance and other enhanced mechanical properties, making it an ideal choice for outdoor structures and structures that receive high levels of sun, wind, rain and other forms of atmospheric exposure. The steel sheet has excellent weldability and generally does not require preheating or post-weld heat treatment.

The ASTM A588 grade K corten steel sheet is low-alloy in composition and can be used in the welding process without the need for additional preheating. As it is designed for outdoor applications, the A588 grade K steel is often chosen for its enhanced protection against corrosive atmospheres, due to its increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion when compared to other steel alloys.

Also known as weathering steel, the ASTM A588 grade K corten steel sheet is specifically designed to resist corrosion in almost any environment. The rust layer on the material provides excellent protection against corrosion, including salt water and other corrosive materials. This corrosion-resistant property also makes it a great choice for optimal protection in bridges, pots, and other structures with frequent exposure to water, salt water and air. The grade K steel has a high tensile strength rating and the ability to form a tight bond on even the most intricate shapes, making it a great choice for creating complex components.

The ASTM A588 grade K is also one of the most cost-effective steel grades available for structures and equipment that need to be exposed to the elements on a regular basis. The grade K steel is widely available, and is often distributed worldwide by major suppliers that offer quick delivery services.
