ThyssenKrupp COR-TEN B Structural Steel
Categories: Metal; Ferrous Metal; Alloy Steel; Carbon Steel; Low Carbon Steel
Material This Material Specification applies to plates up to 50 mm in thickness made from COR-TEN B.
Notes:
Definition: Weathering means that due to its chemical composition the COR-TEN B steel, when
utilized unprotected, exhibits increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared to
unalloyed steels. This is because it forms a protective layer on its surface under the influence of
the weather. The layer protecting the surface develops and regenerates continuously when
subjected to the influence of the weather. In general the covering layer offers protection against
atmospheric corrosion in industrial, urban and country-side climate. In cases of particular air
pollution by aggressive agents conventional surface protection is recommended. Coating is
absolutely necessary in cases of contact with water for long periods, when permanently exposed
to moisture, or if it is to be used in the vicinity of the sea. The susceptibility of paint coats to
undercreepage by rust is less in the case of weathering steel than in the case of comparable
non-weathering steel.
Application: The steel is used for various types of welded, bolted and riveted constructions e.g.
steel frame structures, bridges, tanks and containers, exhaust systems, vehicles and equipment
constructions.
