Corten steel is created using copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni) as the primary alloying elements with less than 0.2% carbon (C) present. It is available in two distinct grades, each of which is structurally and chemically distinct from the other.
orten A is mainly distinguished by additional phosphorous (P), which is generally present in the alloy at concentrations of 0.07 – 0.15%. This imparts enhanced corrosion-resistant properties. Corten B, meanwhile, is not as anti-corrosive but is more suitable for heavy, load-bearing applications.
When to Use Corten A
The self-generating patina of Corten A benefits from the enhanced corrosion-resistant properties of the alloy, enjoying longer-lasting and more robust weatherproof properties. This also enables the use of Corten steel in more harsh environments, such as gas flues and for various components in industrial and hot-working environments.
Corten A is also more suitable for meeting the demands of aesthetic architectural applications. The improved corrosion resistances ensure the attractive, rust-like finish lasts for longer with minimal to no maintenance. In fact, Corten A forms the basis of some of the most famous Corten steel structures around the world.
When to Use Corten B
Corten B is preferable for heavy structural applications due to its enhanced tensile strength. The minimum tensile strength of Corten B strips is approximately 485 N/mm2. This provides significantly improved load-bearing capabilities, which makes Corten B suited for heavyweight fascia and structural elements that are constantly exposed to atmospheric corrosives and weathering conditions.
