Cor-Ten B weathering steel plate
Weathering Steel COR-TEN with high tensile strength has overcome rust, which is the weakest point of steel, in a unique manner, by actually using rust. Click here to learn about Cor-Ten A.
When COR-TEN with bare specifications is left in the atmosphere, rust occurs first in the same way as ordinary steel, but dense protective rust forms on the surface of the steel due to the action of the alloy element over time, inhibiting the later development of further rust.
Since COR-TEN B has excellent weather resistance, it can be used without any coating. It provides not only the economic effect of a reduction of re-coating cost, but an aesthetic effect with sedate color of protective rust.
Coating property
- The coating film has a long life, and the recoating cost can be reduced.
Weldability
- Welding is easy using any method of manual welding or submerged arc welding, etc.
- Spot welding is also possible for thin materials.
Workability
- COR-TEN can be subjected to cold working, hot working, and gas cutting in a similar way as ordinary steel with the same strength level.
COR-TEN B exhibits a yellowish appearance in the initial stage of use, and the color gradually changes to brown. Then, as it sits in its surrounding environment, the color changes to a sedate blackish brown in one to two years. Then, the color changes very little once again, but only to a deep brown.
Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark CORTEN B steel and sometimes written without the hyphen as "CORTEN B 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.
