Products Description
SMA490BW weathering Steel Plate is a low-alloy weathering steel that can resist atmospheric corrosion from sulfur dioxide, chlorides, and other substances.
As a result, it is commonly used in structural applications such as bridges and buildings that are exposed to outdoor air year-round, as well as in railway vehicles and other industrial equipment.
The composition of SMA490BW Corten Steel Plate typically includes elements such as copper, chromium, and nickel.
The copper content is usually between 0.25% and 0.55%, the chromium content is between 0.40% and 0.80%, and the nickel content is between 0.25% and 0.55%.
The addition of these elements helps the steel form a dense oxide layer when exposed to the atmospheric environment, significantly enhancing its resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
