Corten Steel Sheet ASTM A242

Weathering steel plate is a steel plate that is resistant to atmospheric corrosion, which is a series of low alloy steels between ordinary steel and stainless steel. Weathering steel plate is made of ordinary carbon steel with a small amount of corrosion-resistant elements such as copper and nickel added. According to its main characteristics, it is divided into high weather resistance structural steel plate and weathering steel plate for welded structure. Weathering steel realizes sustainable development and innovation after integrating into new modern metallurgical mechanisms and new technologies, and is one of the series of steels at the forefront of world technology.

The characteristics of weathering steel plate

1. It has a protective rust layer and is resistant to atmospheric corrosion. It can be used to manufacture low-alloy structural steel for steel structures such as vehicles, bridges, towers, and containers.

2. Compared with ordinary carbon steel, weathering steel plate has better corrosion resistance in the atmosphere.

3. Compared with stainless steel, weathering steel has only a small amount of alloying elements, such as phosphorus, copper, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, niobium, vanadium, titanium, etc., the total amount of alloying elements is only a few percent, so the price is relatively low.

4. Weathering steel plate can resist corrosion and prolong life of components, reduce thickness and reduce consumption.
