Corten Plates

CORTEN A applies to plates up to 12.5mm in thickness, CORTEN B applies to plates up to 50mm in thickness.

Weathering means that due to their chemical compositions CORTEN A and COR-TEN B steels, when utilised unprotected, exhibits increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared to unalloyed steels. This is because it forms a protective layer on its surface under the influence of the weather. The corrosion retarding effect of the protective layer is produced by the nature of its structure components and the distribution and concentration of alloying elements in it. The layer protecting the surface develops and regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of the weather.

Applications:

The steel is used for various types of welded, bolted, and riveted constructions e.g. steel frame structures, bridges, tanks and containers, exhaust systems, vehicles and equipment constructions.

The entire application technology is of fundamental importance for the performance of the products made from this steel.  It must be taken into account that not only general climatic conditions but also specific unfavourable local climate conditions in the broadest sense as well as details of a construction may affect the corrosion behaviour of unprotected weathering steel.  The dependency on these facts makes it understandable that no warranty can be given.  It is recommended to control the corrosion progress of unprotected parts out of weathering steel exposed to the influence of weather in reasonable time intervals.  A minimum thickness of 5mm is recommended when exposed to the weather in the unprotected condition.
