Today, our HNJBL quality inspection team conducted elemental testing on weathering steel materials to ensure high-quality delivery of corten steel metals.
What is Corten Steel?
Corten steel,also known as weathering steel,is a steel material that has been specially treated to maintain its mechanical and chemical properties in harsh environments. Compared with ordinary steel, weathering steel has better corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and durability, and is widely used in the production of buildings, bridges, automobiles, offshore platforms and wind power generation.
Corten Elements
Corten Steel mainly composed of copper, chromium, nickel, manganese and phosphorus,etc.Chromium is one of the most important elements. It can increase the hardness and corrosion resistance of steel, and at the same time, it can repair the oxidized parts of the steel surface and extend its service life.
