What is Corten B steel plate?
CORTEN steel resists the corrosive effects of rain, snow, ice, fog, and other meteorological conditions by forming a coating of dark brown oxidation over the metal, which inhibits deeper penetration and negates the need for painting and costly rust-prevention maintenance over the years. In simple terms the steel is allowed to rust and that rust forms a protective coating that slows the rate of future corrosiCorten B steel started from North America. Corten steel is widely used in air preheater, economizer, railway carriage, containers production, bridge building, construction and so on. Corten Steel has two grades : Corten A steel and Corten B steel.

Names of Corten B steel plate
The steel category of Corten B steel plate
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.
