ChemistryCOR-TEN®Patinax®European Standard Weathering SteelsConclusionReferencesThe superior corrosion properties of WS are nominally based on the increased copper and nickel content of the alloy although other alloying elements (such as Cr, Mn and P) contribute as well. Copper is especially important for bonding the protective oxide layer to the metal and slowing down corrosion . The steel is allowed to rust and because of its alloy composition rusts more slowly than conventional steel and the rust forms a protectSee more on azomEstimated Reading Time 8 minsPublished Jun 28, 2016COR-TEN,CORTEN A,CORTEN STEEL,A242,A558 GR COR-TEN, CORTEN, CORTEN A, CORTEN STEEL, A242, A558 GR A, S355JOW, Scope CORTEN A applies to plates up to 12.5mm in thickness, CORTEN B applies to plates up to 50mm in thickness.
