product key technologies
Weathering steel plates are also commonly referred to as weathering steel plates because of their resistance to atmospheric corrosion and weathering. These weathering steel plates are rolled with copper, while limiting phosphorus and sulfur content so that the surface can withstand the effects of weather and form a protective layer. Our weathering steel plates are used in welded bridges, high-rise buildings and containers, as well as other outdoor steel structures used in harsh environments.

Weathering steel, also known as weathering steel or atmospheric corrosion resistant steel, is a cost effective material.
Weathering steels are classified as "self-protecting" steels because they form a "patina" due to oxidation of the protective surface when exposed to the atmosphere; the oxidized layer gives the steel a distinctive appearance and enhances weathering resistance compared to standard steels, while the improved corrosion performance At the same time, the improved corrosion resistance extends service life.
Weathering steels are commonly used in railroads, bridges, rolling stock, containers, garden buildings and other structural applications.
