Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark CORTEN A steel and sometimes written without the hyphen as "CORTEN A steel", is a group of steel alloys which were developed to obviate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years.
The original CORTEN A received the standard designation ASTM A 242 TYPE-1("COR-TEN A") from the ASTM International standards group. Newer ASTM grades are A 588 ("CORTEN A") and A 606 for thin sheet. All alloys are in common production and use. JIS G 3125:2004
Japanese grade for weather resistant steel plates: Superior atmospheric corrosion resisting rolled steels
This Standard specifies the rolled steel having high atmospheric corrosion resistance, to be used for vehicle, building, steel tower and other structure. IRSM 41-97 Corrosion Resistance steel INDIAN grade for weather resistant steel plates: IRSM 41-97 standard of Indian railways specifically formed for wagon body due to it high resistance to corrosion,Major wagon builder being Rail Coach Factory. CORTEN A, ASTM 588 GR.A, ASTM 242 TYPE-1, JISG 3125 SPA-H, IRSM 41-97 Weather & Corrosion Resistant Steel Chemical Properties
Corten A weather steel is used in structural and architectural applications. Corten A – a weather resistant steel created by alloying copper, chromium and nickel. In addition to this, Corten A has added phosphorous which makes the material best suited for gas flue applications and for aesthetic facias The material is not recommended in heavy load bearing applications – in this case Corten B or S355J2W should be considered.
