What is Corten B Corrosion Resistant Steel Plate？

Corten B is a weather resistant steel which is better suited for heavy and load bearing structures.The material forms its own protective layer when exposed to atmospheric elements. Essentially, the top layer corrodes which then protects the steel beneath it. The natural finish does not normally require any form of maintenance such as painting, which makes the material a highly cost effective alternative to other structural steels.

Corten B steel is a variation of high strength low alloy construction grade steel with additional Cu to enhance corrosion resistance. Corten B steel is not normally considered for elevated temperature applications.

Corten B steel temperature range

The normal Corten B steel temperature range is 200-400 degrees F with monthly excursions to 600-900 degrees F for short periods of time. Corten B steel has good anti-corrosive properties, and thus can minimize the need for maintenance and corrosion-prevention treatment.

Corten B steel is typically used in advanced engineering and construction where corrosion resistance is important. Corten B steel can be customized for shapes and other tailoring options  upon request.
