ASTM A242 Type 2 Corten Steel Sheets and Plates are robust, low-alloy structural steels designed to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions with impressive resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Shalan Steel, a trusted manufacturer and supplier located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, proudly provides high-quality A242 Type 2 plates to clients throughout Malaysia and Southeast Asia, perfect for heavy-duty and exposed structural projects.
This grade of steel features alloying elements like copper, chromium, and nickel, which help it develop a protective oxide layer—or patina—on its surface. It boasts a minimum yield strength of 345 MPa and a tensile strength ranging from 485 to 620 MPa. When compared to Type 1, Type 2 offers even better corrosion resistance, making it a go-to choice for more demanding weather conditions or industrial environments.
