Corten Steel or more accurately, Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steel, is a steel alloy consisting of copper chromium. This is weather resistant steel, which is also known as Corten steel. As compared with other unalloyed steels, Corten Steel shows better resistance levels to atmospheric weathering. Because of the chemical composition of Corten Steel, when it is exposed to weather, on its surface, a protective layer is formed. What it actually means is that, in order for Corten Steel to be able to form its protective coating, the steel rusts. There are many Corten Steel pipe suppliers available today, as this substance has many uses, as it is in big demand in highly corrosive environments.

Corten Steel is used in a large number of industries today and these include: oil & gas plants, petrochemical industry, sugar plants, construction, nuclear power plant, building industry, cement industry, oil mills, chemical plants, power plants, refineries, paper industry, defense, fertilizer industry, engineering companies, steel plants, breweries, shipbuilding industry and mining. Today, Corten Steel tube suppliers have available all kinds of ready stocks of pipes made from Corten Steel. Whether the requirement is big or small, these suppliers of pipes made from Corten Steel, will ensure that it will be met. Initially, the rust color of Corten Steel is bright orange. This is the color seen on ordinary carbon steel, as well as on weathering steel. But after years and years of exposure to the elements, it takes on a brown/red-orange look.

Cor-ten is a high strength, low alloy, weldable structural steel possessing excellent weathering resistance. It may be used to advantage in painted or unpainted condition. The steel owes its weathering resistance to the formation of a protective oxide coating which seals the surface against further corrosion. The coating is of a dark brown appearance and if chipped or damaged, repairs itself to give continuity of protection and appearance.

In case of cold rolled material the yield point is min. 310 Mpa and the tensile strength min. 445 MPa. Furthermore cold rolled sheets ≤3mm in thickness made of steel grade COR-TEN A-F for increased demand to the cold formability is available.
