What Is A Weathering Steel Plate? What Are The Characteristics?

1. What is weather-resistant steel plate?
Weather-resistant steel plate is a kind of steel plate that can resist atmospheric corrosion. It belongs to the low alloy steel series, which is between ordinary steel and stainless steel. Weather-resistant steel plate is made by adding a small amount of corrosion-resistant elements (such as copper, nickel, etc.) on the basis of ordinary carbon steel.
Weather-resistant steel plates are mainly used in steel structure projects exposed to the atmosphere for a long time, and are now also commonly used in courtyard wall decoration, courtyard landscape, etc.
2. Characteristics of weathering steel plate
1) Outstanding visual expression
The surface of the steel plate will change with the passage of time. Compared with general structure materials, its color brightness and saturation are higher, and the visual effect is prominent in the garden. The roughness of the surface due to corrosion can make the architectural landscape more full of volume and quality.
2) Strong shape shaping ability
The shape of the weathering steel plate can be ever-changing, and it can be designed into various landscape buildings, and its overall display effect is also outstanding.
3) Clear space definition ability
The strength and toughness of the steel plate are great, and the thickness limit when shaping is also small. This feature makes the division of the space clearer and more accurate. The whole space appears concise and lively at the same time full of power.
4) Environmental protection
The weather-resistant steel plate has low pollution to the environment, is an environmentally friendly material, and can be recycled and reused.
5) The price is relatively low
The composition of weather-resistant steel plates only contains trace amounts of alloying elements. The total proportion of these elements is very low, only about a few percent, while stainless steel is generally as high as more than ten percent. Therefore, the price of weather-resistant steel plates is more expensive than that of stainless steel. low.
The shape of the weathering steel plate can be varied, and it is used in courtyard design, garden design and interior background decoration because of its high-quality expression. Coupled with various processing techniques, such as hollowing out, engraving, etc., the aesthetic expression of weathering steel plates is more colorful. The price of weather-resistant steel plate is low and it is an environmentally friendly material, which is welcomed by many consumers.
