Weathering steel, corten steel supplier, CORTEN STEEL is specialized in exporting and trading ASTM A588 high strength low alloy steel angles. ASTM A588 is a high strength low-alloy structural steel specification with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance for structural steel shapes such as angles, channel and beams, as well as steel plate and bars. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of A588 high strength low alloy steel angles is substantially better than that of carbon steels such as A36 and A572-50 with or without copper addition. When properly exposed to the atmosphere, A588 high strength low alloy steel angle is suitable for many applications in the unpainted condition.
ASTM A588 high strength low alloy steel has a 50ksi minimum yield strength and a 70ksi minimum tensile strength. This specification is intended primarily for use in welded bridges and other structures where savings in weight or added durability is important along with the longer life cycle due to its corrosion resistant properties.
Do You Need ASTM A588 High Strength Low Alloy Steel Angles?
CorTen is a trade name for a steel alloy material originally produced by United States Steel. STM A588 corten steel is a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years. The name is short for "corrosion resistance" and "tensile strength".
