As we all know, Corten B weathering steel sheet has strong corrosion resistance. In natural environment, it usually takes 1 to 2 years from brand-new steel plate to generate stable and dense rust red protective layer, which may be longer for some dry areas. Even if it is to generate simple uniform rust yellow, it will take about 1 month. In this process, the color of components will be uncontrollable, from blue black to orange red, to rust red, violent, uneven change process. Therefore, the corrosion resistance of Corten B weathering steel sheet is relatively good.
Weatherability is the main feature of Corten B weathering steel sheet, but the advantages of Corten B weathering steel sheet are more than just weatherability. Weathering steel is made of ordinary carbon steel with a small amount of copper, nickel and other corrosion-resistant elements. It has the characteristics of high-quality steel such as strength, toughness, ductility, forming, welding and cutting, abrasion, high temperature, fatigue, etc.; the weathering resistance of Corten B weathering steel sheet is 2-8 times of ordinary carbon steel, and the coating property is 1.5-10 times of ordinary carbon steel, so Corten B steel can be used thinly, exposed or simplified.
