Weathering Steel Plates for Sale | Corten Steel Supplier | Corrosion Resistant Steel

Product Overview‌

---

At CJM, we specialize in supplying Weathering Steel Plates—the ideal solution for projects that demand durability, strength, and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Our Corten steel products are designed to naturally weather and form a protective patina, making them highly resistant to corrosion and wear. Whether you’re building bridges, sculptures, or large-scale infrastructure, our weathering steel ensures lasting performance and minimal maintenance, even in the most demanding outdoor settings.

What is Weathering Steel?

Weathering steel, also known as Corten Steel, is a high-strength, low-alloy steel that forms a stable, rust-like appearance when exposed to weather. This unique layer of oxide protects the steel beneath from further corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of structures. Its ability to form a self-healing patina provides unparalleled resistance to atmospheric corrosion, making it the ideal material for outdoor and exposed applications.

Key Features of Our Weathering Steel Plates

1. Outstanding Corrosion Resistance
   • The most prominent feature of weathering steel is its resistance to corrosion. It forms a stable oxide layer that prevents the spread of rust, reducing the need for maintenance and enhancing the steel’s longevity, even in harsh weather conditions.
2. Self-Healing Patina
   • The steel naturally forms a protective patina over time when exposed to the elements. This patina acts as a barrier, preventing further rust from affecting the steel, and providing aesthetic appeal as it develops a unique, attractive color.
3. High Strength and Durability
   • Weathering steel plates are engineered for high tensile strength, ensuring that they can withstand significant structural loads. These plates offer excellent resistance to wind, seismic forces, and dynamic stresses, making them ideal for bridges, industrial buildings, and outdoor installations.
4. Reduced Maintenance Costs
   • The self-protecting nature of weathering steel reduces the need for regular painting or protective coatings, leading to lower maintenance costs over the lifespan of the material. This makes it a cost-effective solution for long-term projects.
5. Sustainability
   • Weathering steel is environmentally friendly due to its reduced need for coatings and maintenance, leading to less waste and chemicals. It’s also highly recyclable, contributing to sustainable construction practices.
6. Aesthetic Appeal
   • The unique rust-like appearance of weathering steel is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. It gives a natural, industrial look that is often used for artistic and architectural applications, such as sculptures, facades, and outdoor designs.

Chemical Composition

Our weathering steel plates are made from carefully selected alloys to ensure optimal performance and durability. The typical chemical composition includes:

Element	Content (%)
Carbon (C)	≤ 0.12%
Manganese (Mn)	0.60% – 1.40%
Phosphorus (P)	≤ 0.040%
Sulfur (S)	≤ 0.030%
Chromium (Cr)	0.25% – 0.55%
Nickel (Ni)	0.20% – 0.40%
Copper (Cu)	0.25% – 0.55%
Silicon (Si)	0.30% – 0.80%

This composition ensures that the steel has excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion while maintaining high strength and structural integrity.

Mechanical Properties

The mechanical properties of our weathering steel plates ensure that they are capable of performing under extreme environmental conditions while maintaining their integrity over time.

Property	Standard Range
Tensile Strength	485 – 700 MPa
Yield Strength	275 – 500 MPa
Elongation	≥ 20%
Impact Toughness	≥ 34J at -20°C
Hardness	140 – 190 HB

These values make our weathering steel plates ideal for applications where both strength and long-term durability are critical.

Applications

Our weathering steel plates are used in a wide range of industries, especially in environments where corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal are essential:

• Bridges and Overpasses
  Weathering steel is commonly used for bridges, where it can withstand harsh outdoor elements without rusting. The natural patina also adds to the structure’s visual appeal.
• Outdoor Sculptures and Art Installations
  Many artists and architects choose weathering steel for its aesthetic qualities. The rusted appearance blends well in outdoor environments, providing a striking, yet natural look.
• Buildings and Facades
  Weathering steel plates are used in architectural designs, providing an industrial, rustic appearance while also offering durability and weather resistance.
• Shipping and Storage Containers
  Weathering steel is used in the construction of containers that need to endure outdoor conditions, offering improved lifespan and reduced maintenance compared to traditional steel.
• Transportation Infrastructure
  Weathering steel is ideal for railways, tunnels, and other transport infrastructure exposed to environmental stressors.
