FAQ
What is corten steel used for?
Corten Steel (sometimes known as weathered steel) is a group of steel alloys that are often used in outdoor construction. Corten Steel was designed to eliminate the need for painting and if left outside, exposed to the elements, they will develop a rusted appearance in just a few months.
What is Corten grade A?
Corten Grade A is a weathering steel that belongs to the ASTM A588 specification. It is a high strength and low alloy steel with exceptional corrosion resistance & durability. Corten A Plate is primarily used in outdoor structural applications like bridges, buildings and architectural elements.
What is the difference between Corten A and Corten B?
Corten A has added phosphorous, which makes it suitable for aesthetic facias and gas flue applications, while Corten B is better suited for heavy and load-bearing structures. S355JOW is an equivalent weathering steel to Corten B.
What is the weakness of corten steel?
The Problem with Traditional Corten Steel
At first glance, Corten steel patina seems like a great aesthetic choice, but in reality, it comes with significant drawbacks: Uncontrolled Rusting – While the protective layer forms naturally, it is highly unpredictable.
Why is Corten steel so expensive?
One of the most practical considerations when choosing between Corten and mild steel is cost. Corten steel is more expensive than mild steel due to its unique composition and the additional processing required to create its weather-resistant properties.
