Corten steel also called Corten is kind of weather resistant steel which could greater exactly be termed as atmospheric corrosion resistant steel. Our organization components an collection of steel plates, which can be handy in exceptional specs as according to the requirement of our clients. Acquired from dependable companies, our assortment of those plates is available at an inexpensive charge, when utilized uncovered, exhibits accelerated resistance to atmospheric corrosion in comparison to unalloyed steels.
Reading the text: “Greater exactly” means more exactly. The sentence about “accelerated resistance” means that, used bare, the plate resists atmospheric corrosion better than unalloyed steel. Price depends on grade, thickness and quantity; send an enquiry for a quotation.
Corten A Plates: Purchasing Specification
| Requirement | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Grade and standard | Corten A (ASTM A242), Corten B / ASTM A588 Grade A or S355J0W (EN 10025-5); say which standard your drawing cites and any quality such as J0 or J2. |
| Thickness | Give the thickness range of your parts; minimum yield falls as plate gets thicker, so check the certificate for heavy plate. |
| Exposure | Where the plate will stand, whether it will be painted, and whether it stays wet or sees salt or de-icing chemicals. |
| Cutting | Plasma or oxy-fuel cutting to your drawing; give hole positions, edge preparation and tolerances. |
| Welding | A qualified procedure; for welds left bare outdoors ask for filler metal that weathers like the plate, and follow the mill’s preheat advice. |
| Documents | Mill test certificate (EN 10204 3.1) with chemistry and mechanical properties, plus impact results if you specify a test temperature. |
Features
- High durability
- Light weight
- Corrosion resistance
- Uniform construction
- Strength
- Toughness
About “light weight”: Steel is not a light material. The feature refers to the thinner sections that higher strength can allow compared with plain carbon steel; any weight saving depends on the design.
Applications
Corten A Steel Plates is mainly used for manufacturing container, rolling stock, oil rigs, harbor construction, oil platforms and other structural parts containing hydrogen sulfide corrosive media in petrochemical equipment.
Applications: Weathering steel needs wet and dry cycles to form its layer, so for harbour and offshore work check the exposure: surfaces that stay wet or sit in a splash zone may need coating. Hydrogen sulfide service should be confirmed by the process designer.

Which grade is this? The composition in this table (Mn 0.80–1.25%, Cr 0.40–0.65%, Cu 0.25–0.40%, V 0.02–0.10%, Ni 0.40% max) is the Corten B / ASTM A588 type, not the Corten A composition on the Corten Plates page (Mn 0.20–0.50%, P 0.07–0.15%, Cr 0.50–1.25%). The “=” signs read as “up to”, “-” means no value is given, and the Z and Mo columns are empty. Ask for the chemistry on the mill certificate.
How the Four Corten Pages Differ
The four pages cover weathering steel, the type known as Corten, under different names and standards: Corten A, ASTM A588 Grade A, ASTM A242 and the EN S355J0W grade. All form a protective rust-like layer when left exposed to the weather; the pages differ in the standard they describe and the data they give.
| Page | What it covers | Typical use (from the pages) |
|---|---|---|
| CORTEN A (this page) | Corten A features and applications, with a chemistry table | Containers, rolling stock, oil rigs, harbour construction, oil platforms |
| A588 | ASTM A588 Grade A to 100 mm: 50 ksi yield, 70 ksi tensile, gauge and stock-length table | Welded bridges and buildings, bare (unpainted) structures |
| A242 | The original A242 alloy, with yield and tensile strength by thickness band | Rolled shapes and plates up to 4 in (100 mm) |
| S355J0W | EN S355 weathering grades with Corten A/B, SAILCOR, IRS M41 and JIS SPA-H names, scope and definition | Body structures, bridges, tanks and bins, exhaust systems, vehicles |
State the standard and grade on your enquiry; these names describe the same type of steel but are not identical.

Corten A Plates: Frequently Asked Questions
01What is Corten A Plates?
Corten A is a weathering (atmospheric corrosion resistant) steel plate that, used bare, resists atmospheric corrosion better than unalloyed steel; this page lists its features, applications and a chemistry table.
02What features are listed for Corten A?
High durability, light weight, corrosion resistance, uniform construction, strength and toughness.
03Which applications are listed?
Containers, rolling stock, oil rigs, harbour construction, oil platforms and other structural parts, including petrochemical equipment containing hydrogen sulfide corrosive media.
04Does Corten A plate rust?
Yes, by design: weathering steel rusts on the surface and forms a protective layer under the weather, which is why it can be used bare.
05Is the chemistry table the Corten A composition?
The table on this page (Mn 0.80–1.25%, Cr 0.40–0.65%, V 0.02–0.10%) matches the Corten B / A588 type; the Corten A composition (Mn 0.20–0.50%, P 0.07–0.15%) is on the Corten Plates page. Confirm the grade on the mill certificate.
06Can Corten A be welded?
Yes, with a qualified procedure. For parts left bare outdoors, ask for filler metal that weathers like the plate, and follow the mill’s advice on preheat and heat input.
07Which certificate should I request?
An EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate showing the brand and grade, heat number, chemistry and mechanical properties, plus impact results where you specify a test temperature.
08Can another brand replace Corten A?
Brands of the same class are comparable, not identical. Chemistry, toughness, thickness range and processing advice differ by mill, so confirm any substitution with your engineer.
09Can Corten A plate be cut to size?
Yes. Champak Industries lists full and part plate and profile supply and a plasma-cutting service; send drawings, quantities and tolerances with your enquiry.
10How do I get a price and delivery date?
