SPA-H Hot Rolled Weathering Resistant Dimension 1.5*6 Meter Thickness: 1.5-10mm Corten Steel Plate

Corten plate is a weather resistant steel created by alloying copper, chromium and nickel. In addition to this, Corten A has added phosphorous which makes the material best suited for gas flue applications and for aesthetic facias The material is not recommended in heavy load bearing applications - in this case Corten B or S355J2W should be considered.

The top layer of the material reacts with atmospheric elements to form a rust coloured protective layer which not only makes the steel virtually maintenance free but also provides a pleasing and consistent finish.

Corten steel plate (called weather resistant steel plate ) was used in different weather. It has good anti rust
protection and welding ability and is usedin shipping container,support frame of outside building etc.
Remarkably enhances the anticorrosive performance of the structural element, lengthens the structural
element service life, uses in manufacturing each kind of structural element which was used under the
atmospheric envirenment and the caustic gas, the liquid envirenment.

Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark COR-TEN steel and sometimes written without the hyphen as corten steel, is a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years. The name is short for "corrosion resistance" and "tensile strength".

Weathering refers to the chemical composition of these steels, allowing them to exhibit increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared to other steels. This is because the steel forms a protective layer on its surface under the influence of the weather.

The corrosion-retarding effect of the protective layer is produced by the particular distribution and concentration of alloying elements in it. The layer protecting the surface develops and regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of the weather. In other words, the steel is allowed to rust in order to form the protective coating.

The mechanical properties of weathering steels depend on which alloy and how thick the material is.

Corten steel plate
1. Weather resistant structural steel. The anticorrosive properties of weather resistant steel are better than those of other structural steels in many applications. The steel is self-protecting: The rust layer on the surface becomes a tight oxide layer that slows down the progress of corrosion. The steel is an economical, long-lasting and fully recyclable material.

2. Corrosion resistant steel - Weathering Steel
Weathering steel is a copper chromium alloy which is 'self-healing'. The untreated steel reacts to chemicals in the atmosphere as part of the oxidation process and generates its own protective layer of rust. This layer (or patina) prevents the steel from further deterioration and replenishes itself over time.

3. Atmospheric corrosion resistant HSLA structural quality steel is stronger & tougher than carbon steel, is ductile, highly formable & weldable.
HSLA structural steel features atmospheric corrosion resistance, which is crucial in structural applications.
Atmospheric corrosion resistant steel is intended primarily for use in structural members, where savings in weight (mass) and added durability matter.
Plate is used in truck frames, brackets, crane booms, rail cars and other comparable applications.
