Originating in North America, weathering steel is widely used in the manufacture of railway cars, containers and Bridges. Weathering steel has a long history of being used for building facades in North America, Western Europe, Australia and Asia, including Japan and Korea. By adding corrosion resistant elements such as copper, chromium, nickel, the weathering steel can form a dense oxide layer with a thickness of about 50100mm between the rust layer and the matrix, and has good adhesion with the base metal. This special dense oxide layer has a stable and uniform natural rusty red color.
Ordinary people may not know what weathering steel is, but this does not prevent its use in the field of industrial production, weathering steel is a new type of steel, combined with new technology, new materials, new innovation, belongs to the world's leading steel. The important reason for the wide use is that the production cost of weathering steel is low. So what is the use of weathering steel? Don't worry, I will give you the answer next!
01
What is weathering steel
Weathering steel combined with the new mechanism, new technology and new process of modern metallurgy can be innovative and sustainable development, is one of the world's super steel series.
02
Characteristics of weathering steel
Low alloy structural steel with protective anti-rust layer and atmospheric corrosion resistance can be used to manufacture steel structures such as vehicles, Bridges, towers and containers. Weathering steel has better corrosion resistance than plain carbon steel.
03
Use of weathering steel
High strength weathering steel can also be used in bridge engineering, floor plates, high pressure towers, etc. For example, high-performance weathering steel and fire-resistant steel can reduce the maintenance of steel structures, and provide a new solution to solve the problem of water leakage and fire protection of unprotected steel structures.
04
The future development of weathering steel
Weathering steel is the star of the modern construction industry, it has led a series of innovations in construction steel, while it marks the leap in production technology, quality and other aspects of steel. Weathering steel stands out in the steel market because of its low price and prominence, which has been loved by the majority of consumers.
