Products Description
Corten Steel A606 Plates Specification
- Specification : ASTM A606
- Thickness : 2-460mm , Steel Plate Width: 1500-3200mm
- Length : 6000-12000mm
A606 COR-TEN weathering steel sheet is a high strength material designed to develop a rust-like surface patina if left unfinished, eliminating the need to paint the material and protecting the material from corrosion. A606 Cor-Ten weathering steel is intended for welded, bolted, or riveted construction and common applications include landscaping, retaining walls, planter boxes, outdoor sculptures, building exteriors, electrical power poles, railcars, and other structures where high strength and enhanced corrosion resistance are required.

FAQ
Q: What is A606 steel?
A: The ASTM A606 specification is the Standard Steel Specification for High-Strength, Low-Alloy, Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Sheet and Strip Steel with Improved Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance for use in structural and other applications.
Q: What is the difference between Corten and A606?
A: A606-4 is referred to as Corten® or weathering steel. It's a type of high strength low alloy steel that's known for its rusted appearance. A606-4 is popular because it can be made into metal roofing and siding panels. It starts out unrusted and will rust with exposure to the weather.
Q: What is the difference between ASTM A588 and A606?
A: The difference in our products is: A606-4 is considered weathering steel sheet with thicknesses beginning at 22 Gauge and thicker available up to 3/16". We stock A606-4 in flat sheets, coil, and panels. A588 is available in steel plate and starts at 3/16" thickness and increases up to 5" thickness.
Q: Is A606 weldable?
A: Additionally, A606/A588A steel exhibits high strength but is 20-30% lighter than comparable alloy steels. It is weldable, formable, and easily machinable. It is frequently used in industrial applications, freight cars, and decorative applications.
Q: Can you weld corten steel?
A: Yes, it is possible to weld corten steel to mild steel, but it requires careful attention to detail to ensure a strong and durable weld. Welders should use specialized welding techniques and filler materials, such as an E7018 electrode, to achieve the desired results.
