Understanding EN 10025 S355J2WP+AR Corten Steel
EN 10025 S355J2WP+AR is a weathering steel (also known as Corten steel), that develops a stable, rust-like patina when exposed to the weather. The patina:
- Protects the steel from any further corrosion.
- Eliminate the need for paint or other treatment from the exterior.
- Provides a unique, attractive appearance.
This grade is particularly prized for its high tensile strength and corrosion resistance making it an excellent choice in harsh applications.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Excellent Weathering: Forms a self protecting rust layer
- High Strength: Suitable for structural applications
- Durability: Long lasting performance in a variety of environments
- Low Maintenance: No maintenance or painting or upkeep required
- Attractive: Unique and evolving appearance that architects are keen on.
