Corten A Steel unique performance characteristics

Corten A Steel is a type of alloy steel that can form a relatively dense rust layer on the surface after several years of outdoor exposure, so it does not need to be painted for protection.

Corten A Steel refers to atmospheric corrosion resistant steel. It is a series of low alloy steel between ordinary steel and stainless steel. Corten A Steel is made of ordinary carbon steel with a small amount of corrosion-resistant elements such as copper and nickel. It has the strength and toughness of high-quality steel. Plastic extension, forming, welding and cutting, abrasion, high temperature, fatigue resistance and other characteristics.

The weather resistance of Corten A Steel is 2 to 8 times that of ordinary carbon steel, and the coating property is 1.5 to 10 times that of ordinary carbon steel. At the same time, Corten A Steel has the characteristics of rust resistance, corrosion resistance and longevity of components, thinning and consumption reduction, and labor and energy saving.

Corten A Steel is mainly used for steel structures exposed to the atmosphere for a long time, such as railways, vehicles, bridges, and towers. Corten A Steel is used to manufacture structural parts such as containers, railway vehicles, oil derricks, seaport construction, oil production platforms, and containers containing hydrogen sulfide corrosive medium in chemical and petroleum equipment.
