Weathering steel plate (commonly known as Corten A) engineered for long-term outdoor performance and structural use. This alloyed steel develops a stable, protective patina when exposed to the atmosphere, which significantly reduces corrosion rates compared with ordinary carbon steel and often eliminates the need for additional painted coatings.
Key features
- Corrosion and weather resistance: forms a tightly-adhering oxide (patina) that protects the underlying metal from further atmospheric attack.
- Durable mechanical properties: good tensile strength and toughness for structural and architectural applications.
- Weldability and formability: suited to common fabrication processes including welding, bending and rolling.
- Reduced maintenance: in many exterior applications the patina removes the need for regular repainting or protective coating.
Typical applications
- Architectural facades, cladding and screening
- Bridges, rail infrastructure and outdoor structural elements
- Landscaping, public art and sculpture
- Industrial containers, silos and storage tanks
- Marine and coastal structures where atmospheric corrosion resistance is required
Supply and services
- Available in plate/sheet dimensions and thicknesses to meet project requirements (cut-to-size service on request).
- Surface states: as-rolled/weathered; additional surface treatments (pickling, blasting) available on request.
- Mill test certificates, mechanical test reports and inspection documentation can be supplied to meet purchaser specifications.
Ordering
For quotations please specify required dimensions (length × width × thickness), quantity, surface finish and any certification or inspection requirements. We can support volume orders and ongoing supply contracts for construction or manufacturing projects.
