Corten Steel Sheet and Plate is a remarkable type of weather-resistant steel, celebrated for its distinctive ability to develop a stable, rust-like finish when exposed to the elements. Shalan Steel, a reputable supplier and manufacturer located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, provides top-notch Corten steel products that are perfect for architectural, structural, and industrial applications. This steel is designed to eliminate the hassle of painting and minimize maintenance, as it forms a protective oxide layer that effectively resists atmospheric corrosion. Shalan Steel offers both Corten A and Corten B grades, catering to the diverse needs of construction, landscaping, and outdoor design projects, all while ensuring timely delivery and expert assistance.
Corten Steel is composed of copper, chromium, nickel, and phosphorus, which work together to create a protective rust layer that slows down further corrosion. Corten A generally has a higher phosphorus content, enhancing its resistance to atmospheric conditions, while Corten B is known for its superior mechanical strength, making it ideal for structural uses. These plates boast yield strengths around 345 MPa and tensile strengths ranging from 470 to 630 MPa, depending on the grade and thickness. Corten steel is also known for its good weldability and machinability. Once it’s exposed to the weather, it develops a dense patina that tightly adheres to the surface, preventing deeper corrosion and prolonging the lifespan of the structure.
