CORTEN
CORTEN® STEEL SHEET:
Steel resistant to atmospheric corrosion
Our service centre specialises in the processing of corten® steel sheets: this is a special steel that is used in particular in the construction industry.
Discover our corten steel sheets:
CORTEN® STEEL
- Cold-rolled steel.
- Maximum aesthetic performance in lightweight structures such as architectural façades.
CORTEN® STEEL
- Hot-rolled steel
- Excellent protection against corrosion due to the addition of phosphorus.
CORTEN® STEEL
- Hot-rolled steel
- The addition of vanadium increases the mechanical strength of the material and provides good protection against atmospheric corrosion.
Thanks to alloying elements that contribute to the formation of a permanent, self-healing protective surface coating with a typical brown color, Corten® steel adds to mechanical endurance an exceptionally high resistance to weathering corrosion, up to 8 times greater than that of a normal structural steel.
Corten® sheet allows for zero galvanizing costs, and when painted, Corten® steel sheets minimize maintenance costs, because being made of a high-strength steel they are self-protecting against corrosion at scratches and chips in the paint layer.
The name CORTEN® STEEL derives precisely from its main characteristics:
- CORrosion resistance: high resistance to corrosion
- TENsile strength: high mechanical strength
- Fume recovery pipes
- Smokestacks
- Transport wagons
- Containers and silos
- Bridges
- Decorative and architectural structures
- Curtain walls (Facades)
- Guard-rails and road barriers
