Corten A material properties

Corten A is a kind of Corten steel, is the representative steel of cu-p series steel in the United States, belongs to the low alloy high strength atmospheric corrosion resistant structural steel, also known as weathering steel. Compared with ordinary carbon steel, Corten A material has better corrosion resistance in atmosphere.

Corten A material chemical composition and mechanical property:

Due to its special properties, Corten A material is mainly used for railway, vehicle, bridge, tower and other steel structures which are exposed to the atmosphere for a long time. It is used to manufacture containers, railway vehicles, oil RIGS, harbor buildings, oil production platforms and containers containing hydrogen sulfide corrosive medium in chemical and petroleum equipment.

Corten A material is a kind of steel which can be used thin, exposed or simplified for corrosion resistance, life extension, cost reduction and upgrading. If you need Corten A, please contact us.
