What is Corten Steel?
Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, develops a rust-like protective layer on its surface when exposed to weather elements. This protective layer prevents further corrosion, making Corten steel highly durable and suitable for various outdoor applications. It is a type of low alloy steel that is known for its high strength and longevity.
Chemical Composition and Properties
The chemical composition of Corten steel includes phosphorus, copper, chromium, and nickel-molybdenum. These elements contribute to its two main properties:
Corrosion Resistance: The rust-like layer formed on the surface acts as a protective barrier, preventing further corrosion.
Tensile Strength: The alloying elements provide high tensile strength, making it suitable for structural applications.
Grades of Corten Steel
Corten steel is available in several grades, each suited for different applications. Some of the common grades include:
ASTM A423 Grade 1: Typically used for flue gas applications and aesthetic purposes.
ASTM A847: Often used for tubular products and structural components.
Corten Steel Planter: Used for decorative and functional applications in landscaping and architecture.
Each grade has specific characteristics tailored to meet the requirements of different environments and structural needs. For instance, Grade B is used in load-bearing structures due to its enhanced strength.
Corten steel’s unique properties and aesthetic appeal make it a popular choice for architects, engineers, and designers.

FAQs
Corten steel is unique because its special combination of alloys and production methodology allows it to retain strength and resist corrosion without the need for painting. The trademark for COR-TEN is held by US Steel, with production also licensed to SSAB.
Yes, Corten steel is generally more expensive than mild steel, often costing around 50% more. However, its long-term benefits, such as durability and reduced maintenance, make it a cost-effective investment over time.
One weakness of Corten steel is that its oxide layer is water-soluble, especially during early oxidation stages. Rainwater washing over the steel can carry dissolved oxide, leading to reddish or rust stains in areas where the water deposits.
