Is there an increase in aesthetic effects? What are the characteristics of COR-TEN?
We would like to introduce five excellent features of the weather-resistant steel 'COR-TEN' handled by Chikuma Steel Co., Ltd. First, it has excellent weather resistance, allowing it to be used without paint. Like ordinary steel, it can also be painted, and in addition, when painting defects occur, the spread of rust is suppressed, resulting in a longer paint lifespan and reduced repainting costs. Furthermore, weldability has been carefully considered, keeping the carbon content low, which allows for easy welding using any method, including manual and submerged arc welding. It has processing characteristics similar to ordinary steel and has produced over 2.6 million tons since its launch. 【Features】 ■ Weather resistance ■ Paintability ■ Weldability ■ Workability ■ Reliability *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
