Weathering steel plate, also known as COR-TEN steel plate, is a type of high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel that exhibits enhanced corrosion resistance. It is designed to develop a stable rust-like appearance when exposed to the elements over time. The term “weathering” refers to the ability of this steel to withstand atmospheric corrosion caused by the presence of oxygen, moisture, and other environmental factors.
Weathering steel plate is composed primarily of iron, with small amounts of alloying elements such as copper, chromium, nickel, and phosphorus. These alloying elements, along with the addition of specific chemical compositions, promote the formation of a protective oxide layer on the surface of the steel. This layer acts as a barrier, preventing further corrosion from occurring, and gives weathering steel its distinctive reddish-brown appearance.
Weathering steel plate is available in various thicknesses, widths, and lengths, allowing for flexibility in design and construction. It is commonly used in structural applications where high strength and weather resistance are required.
The global weathering steel plate market refers to the market for weathering steel plates, which are utilized in various industries for their corrosion-resistant properties and aesthetic appeal. The market encompasses the production, supply, and demand for weathering steel plates on a global scale.
