Corten Steel Plate Weather Resistant Steel Sheet

                                                                              High Wear Resistant Steel

Weather resistant steel  plate is an iron alloy with added copper, phosphorous, silicon, nickel and chrome. Once this alloy is exposed to ambient elements it forms a relatively stable protective layer of oxidation.

Corten Steel

Corten steel (often referred to as Cor–Ten) is a high temperature Steel Plate which could more accurately be termed as an “Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steel”.

It is a copper chromium alloy steel – this alloy displays a greater level of resistance to atmospheric weathering when compared to other unalloyed steels. It’s chemical composition promotes the early formation of an adhering protective layer of rust when exposed to the elements.

Aesthetically pleasing to the eye, this finish has become popular with many high profile architects and has been specified and used in a variety of applications in including building fascias, architectural sculptures and bridges

Our Corten Steel Grades：

Corten A

Corten B

Corten B

Corten B – a weather resistant steel which is better suited for heavy and load bearing structures.

The material forms its own protective layer when exposed to atmospheric elements. Essentially, the top layer corrodes which then protects the steel beneath it. The natural finish does not normally require any form of maintenance such as painting, which makes the material a highly cost effective alternative to other structural steels.

Painting and maintenance will be required if the structure is is continually wet as a protective layer will not form. An good example is where the base of the structure meets with the ground or is partially submerged.
