High-strength weathering (Corten) steel plates engineered for long-term outdoor exposure where improved atmospheric corrosion resistance is required. These plates are supplied in EN 10025-5 weathering grades including S355J0WP, S355J2WP, S355J0W and comparable Corten/A588 materials, and are suitable for structural, architectural and industrial applications where reduced maintenance and attractive natural patination are desired.
Key specifications
- Standards: EN 10025-5 (weathering steels). Also available to other specifications on request (ASTM, DIN, JIS, BS, GB, AISI, ASME).
- Typical grades: Corten A, A588 Grade B, S235J0W, S235J2W, S355J0WP, S355J2WP, S355J0W, S355J2W, S355K2W and related low-alloy weathering steels.
- Thickness range: 1.2 – 200 mm (custom thicknesses available).
- Width: typically 1500 – 3200 mm or made to order per customer drawings.
- Processes: hot-rolled plates and cold-rolled sheet available.
Quality, testing and certification
- Mill Test Certificate provided with each shipment; third-party inspection accepted.
- Company certifications: ISO 9001 and SGS verification; CE marking available where applicable.
- Free samples available for testing and inspection prior to order.
Finish, packing and delivery
- Surface: as-rolled; typical weathering steels develop a protective rust patina in service.
- Standard export packing: bundled and secured with steel straps, wrapped in protective PVC film.
- Special packing: film-covered and packed in wooden crates on request for added protection.
- Trade terms: FOB Shanghai; CIF/CNF options available.
Value-added processing and supply capacity
- Secondary services: cutting, welding, drilling, grinding, turning and other deep-processing operations to customer specification.
- Production capability: steady supply with monthly capacity to support large projects (manufacturer-stated capacity).
Typical applications
- Architectural cladding and façades
- Bridges, rail and highway structures
- Outdoor sculptures and landscaping features
- Containers, trailers and industrial structures exposed to the elements
Ordering guidance
When requesting a quotation, please specify: grade, thickness, width, length, quantity, required standard/certification, surface finish and any processing (cutting, welding, etc.). Lead times and exact packing will be confirmed based on order size and specifications.
For technical enquiries, request for certification copies or sample orders, include the full technical requirements and intended application so the supplier can confirm suitability and provide the correct test documentation.
