Products Description
Weathering steel, often called corten steel (or its trademarked name, COR-TEN) is a group of steel alloys that form a stable external layer of rust that eliminates the need for painting.
U.S. Steel (USS) holds the registered trademark on the name COR-TEN. The name COR-TEN refers to the two distinguishing properties of this type of steel: corrosion resistance and tensile strength. Although USS sold its discrete plate business to International Steel Group (now ArcelorMittal) in 2003, it makes COR-TEN branded material in strip mill plate and sheet forms.
The original COR-TEN received the standard designation A242 (COR-TEN A) from the ASTM International standards group. Newer ASTM grades are A588 (COR-TEN B) and A606 for thin sheet. All of the alloys are in common production and use.

FAQ
Can I weld Corten steel?
When it comes to welding corten steel, the method should match the material thickness and end-use. Stick Welding (SMAW): Reliable and economical for structural joints. TIG Welding (GTAW): Clean and precise, suitable for fine applications.
What is another name for Corten steel?
Weathering steel, often called corten steel (or its trademarked name, COR-TEN) is a group of steel alloys that form a stable external layer of rust that eliminates the need for painting.
Can you weld A588 steel?
Welding weathering steel is relatively simple. It welds very similar to some of the common low carbon steels such as ASTM A36 and ASTM A572. ASTM A588 weathering steel is a structural steel covered under the AWS D1. 1.
Can A588 be galvanized?
Can weathering steel (e.g. ASTM A588, A709 Weathering, COR-TEN) be galvanized? Weathering steel can be galvanized successfully and is considered for applications such as bridges, transmission towers, lamp standards, and pole-line hardware.
Who owns Corten steel?
U.S. Steel holds the registered trademark on the name COR-TEN.
