Description

Weathering steel plate, also known as Corten Steel Plate, atmospheric corrosion-resistant steel plate, is a low-alloy steel plate series between ordinary carbon steel sheets and stainless steel sheets.

Features of Weathering Steel Plate:

Weathering steel plate is made of ordinary carbon steel plate with a small amount of corrosion-resistant elements such as copper and nickel added. Its weather resistance is 2 to 8 times that of ordinary carbon steel plates, and its paintability is 1.5 to 10 times that of ordinary carbon steel sheet.

Weathering Steel Plate is a type of steel with excellent corrosion resistance. It forms a dense rust layer in atmospheric environments, which prevents further corrosion and thus extends its service life. Weathering steel plate is widely used in structures exposed to the atmosphere for extended periods, such as bridges, buildings, vehicles, and towers.

Specifications of Weathering Steel Plate:

Weathering steel plate specifications are primarily categorized based on factors such as thickness, width, length, and performance. Below are some common Corten steel plate specifications and characteristics:
1. Thickness: Weathering steel plate comes in a wide range of thicknesses, with common thicknesses including 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, and 20mm.

Weathering Steel Plate: of varying thicknesses is suitable for different applications. For example, thinner plates are suitable for decorative and lightweight structures, while thicker plates are suitable for heavy-duty and large structures.

2. Width and Length: The width and length of weathering steel plates vary depending on actual needs. Common widths range from a few hundred millimeters to several meters, while lengths can be customized. These specifications allow corrosion-resistant steel plates to adapt to various building and structural requirements.

3. Performance Indicators: Weathering steel plate’s performance indicators primarily include yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, and impact toughness. Corten steel plates are classified into different grades based on the application environment and requirements.
