What is ASTM A606-4?

A606-4 is referred to as Corten® or weathering steel. It’s a type of high strength low alloy steel that’s known for its rusted appearance. A606-4 is popular because it can be made into metal roofing and siding panels. It starts out unrusted and will rust with exposure to the weather.

ASTM A606-4 covers steel sheet and coil. It’s a steel alloy that’s made up of copper, chromium, nickel, and other elements that give it corrosion resistance properties. It is also known for its high strength, making it an ideal choice for architectural and structural applications.

Weathering Steel, often referred to as COR-TEN or A606-4/A588, is a group of steel alloys which were developed to phase out the need for painting steel and to guarantee that the steel will form a stable rust-like presence if exposed to the elements for a prolonged period of time. The net effect is that the steel generates a beautiful patina coating which also guards against future corrosion.

ASTM A606 Type 4 Weathering Steel Plate

The ASTM A606 specification is the Standard Steel Specification for High-Strength, Low-Alloy, Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Sheet and Strip Steel with Improved Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance for use in structural and other applications. It has 2 types: Type 2 and Type 4, ASTM A606 Type 4 has four times the atmospheric corrosion resistance compared with common structural carbon steel plates. It has good weldablity, formablity, and machinability with proper treatments.

ASTM A606-4 steel Plate & Sheets are produced unpainted for its outdoor application environment and helps develop a layer of orange brown oxide which will prevent corrosion to the deeper layer. It also has the advantage of being 30% lighter than carbon steel when providing the same high strength property.

Corten Steel Tube supplies steel coils and heavy steel plates of ASTM A606 specification in product types: Hot and Cold-rolled Sheet and strip in cut lengths or Steel Coils, manufactured for application in structural and weathering resistance purposes.

ASTM A606 Steel Sheet Overview:

  • Corrosion-resistant structural steel sheet that has a high durability.
  • Available in three types: Type II, Type IV (most common) and Type V.
  • Available as hot-rolled and cold-rolled, but Corten Steel Tube only supplies hot-rolled.
  • Often referred to as Corten or Weathering steel.
  • In addition to carbon, manganese, sulfur and copper, Type IV may contain other alloying elements to further resist corrosion at the discretion of the manufacturer.
  • Charpy test requirements may be requested.
  • May be certified to meet multiple standards on Mill Test Report, but guaranteed to be certified to meet A606 standards.

ASTM A606 Type 4 Price in India

The price of ASTM A606 Type 4 Corten Steel varies based on thickness, quantity, and market demand. Typically, it is priced higher than standard carbon steel due to its enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. Factors such as location, supplier, and specific order requirements can also affect the cost. It’s important to source ASTM A606 Type 4 from trusted manufacturers to ensure competitive pricing and quality. For the most accurate pricing, contact Corten Steel Tube directly for quotes based on your project needs.

A606 vs A588: Comparing Thickness, Applications, and Uses in Corten Steel

The thickness of ASTM A606 type 4 strips starts at 22 gauge and it goes up to 3/16”. Whereas, the standard thickness of A588 strips is between 3/16” to 5”. ASTM A606 Type 4 HSLA plate is mostly found in air ducts whereas A588 plates are widely used in pedestrian bridges.

What are the different types of A606 Steel Sheet?

There are three types of A606 steel sheets- Type 2 and 4 are most commonly available and there is Type 5 too. Type 2 has min 0.20% copper in its chemical composition whereas Type 4 & 5 can have additional alloying elements. Thus, they can be used in corrosive environments with or without the copper addition. Types 4 and 5 can also be used without any surface treatments.

FAQ's

ASTM A606 Type 4 steel sheets do not require additional heat treatment due to its weathering properties. However, different tests are conducted on A606 type 4 hot rolled sheets to ensure their quality and standards. The tests help to verify if ASTM A606 type 4 cold rolled Sheet meets specific project requirements for corrosion resistance and structural integrity. Visual inspections are various non-destructive tests that are commonly performed on these sheets to check for defects and overall quality.

Different alloying elements present in ASTM A606 type 4 coil can influence its overall properties. For example, copper can enhance corrosion resistance and weathering properties. Similarly, Nickel helps with the protective patina development which enhances weathering resistance of the steel grade.

  • Contact a reputed and genuine supplier who offers ASTM A606 Type 4 steel plate with relevant certifications.
