What is ASTM A242 steel plate?
ASTM A242 steel plate is kind of atmospheric corrosion resistant hot rolled steel. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of ASTM A242 steel in most environments is substantially better than carbon steel with or without copper addition.
Corten ASTM A242 steel plates are weathering steels commonly used for outdoor structures. These steels have a higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion than typical mild steels. Often, welds on these steels are specified for similar corrosion resistance and color match.
Standard of ASTM A242 steel plate
ASTM A242: Japanese material standard hot rolled steel for superior atmospheric corrosion resistance steel plates, sheets, strips.

Names of ASTM A242 steel plate
ASTM A242 steel, ASTM A242 steel sheet, ASTM A242 corten steel plate, ASTM A242 weathering steel plate, ASTM A242 weatherproof steel plate, ASTM A242 weather resistant steel plate, ASTM A242 atmosphere corrosion resistant steel plate, ASTM A242 anti corrosion steel plate, etc.
The steel category of ASTM A242 steel plate
ASTM A242 steel belongs to corten steel/ whethering steel.
Corten steel is a high strength weathering steel. The word "CorTen" is the trademark name given to a weathering steel alloy material originally produced by United States Steel.
Corten steel alloy falls into the category of those that were developed to reduce or eliminate the use of coats, primers or paints on the material to make it rustproof. When exposed to the environment, corten steel forms an outer rust layer that protects this steel from corrosion. This is the reason why corten steel is also called weathering steel.
