Corten steel, also called Cor-Ten steel, is a weathering steel that resists corrosion but is not rust-proof. This steel alloy is widely used in landscaping and other outdoor applications because it forms a protective layer of rust after approximately six months of exposure to moisture and oxygen. Since the rust layer (patina) protects the steel from further corrosion, it does not require painting or additional weatherproofing.

ASTM a242 gr.a Cold-rolled Plates Manufacturer

A242 Grade a Plate Supplier

We are a maker, merchant, stockist, provider and exporter of Corten Steel Plates, both Corten Plates, that are eminent for their climate safe capacities and high quality, and, A242 Grade A Plates, which are light bodies and frame a defensive outside layer to keep erosion under control.

Our DIN 1.8945 Corrosion safe plates are utilized for building solid houses and structures other than being low upkeep and weldable as well. We supply ASTM A 588 Grade A steel plates to the scaffold and furniture and ship development industry.

Astm a588 Steel is a high strength low-alloy structural steel with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance for structural steel shapes such as angles, channel and beams, as well as steel plate and bars. It has minimum yield strength of 50ksi and a minimum.                            

Astm a588 weathering steel sheet is intended primarily for use in welded bridges and other structures where savings in weight or added durability is important along with the longer life cycle due to its corrosion resistant properties.

Astm a588 grade a weathering steel plate has 345Mpa minimum yield point to 100mm thickness. It is suitable for many applications in the bare condition when it is properly exposed to the atmosphere. It has been designed to provide a high resistance to atmospheric corrosion, especially in urban environment.                                  

Astm a588 can be delivered in a condition such as hot rolled, cold rolled, normalized, quenched, tempering, thermal mechanical control process (TMCP), HIC test. Density of 3mm corten steel sheet is 7.85 g/cm3, or 23.55 kg per square meter of material.

Mechanical Information

Corten Steel is A Low Maintenance Solution for Outdoor Applications

There are several benefits to using weathering steel sheets and plates. The natural corrosion resistance of Corten steel gives it a long lifecycle, creating a low-maintenance solution for a variety of uses. Corten steel plates and sheets have high strength properties, which is why the metal sheets are used for structural applications including bridges, building facades, and other large structures. Other industrial applications for weathering steel plates include rail cars, industrial shipping and storage containers, and other transportation uses.

Because of its corrosion- resistant properties, weathering steel is also widely used by architects and artists,  Artists and sculptors use Corten steel because the color of the protective rust layer continues to deepen with weather exposure, which many find visually appealing. 

Corten steel plates are a low cost, low maintenance solution for structural and decorative applications.

Overall benefits of using weathering steel sheets include:

Provides natural corrosion resistance

Requires no paint or weatherproofing

Exhibits high strength for heavy or load bearing structures

Requires minimal maintenance

Creates a distinctive, artistic finish
