COR-TEN Weathering Steel Plate

COR-TEN Weathering Steel Plate

COR-TEN Weathering Steel Plate is a high-strength, low-alloy steel known for its corrosion resistance and distinctive rust-like appearance over time. Ideal for outdoor structures and architectural applications, it forms a stable rust-like layer that protects against further corrosion, eliminating the need for painting or additional coatings. Its durable properties make it a preferred choice for a variety of construction and artistic projects.
