Samuel Steel is a leading manufacturer and supplier of weathering steel plates and sheets from Abuja, Nigeria. Dedicated to providing high-quality, corrosion-resistant steel material, Samuel Steel supplies various industries such as construction, infrastructure, and transport. Their weathering steel products are famous for creating a stable outer layer of rust that prevents further corrosion, making them free from painting and lowering maintenance expenditure. Samuel Steel’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has made them a reliable name in the Nigeria steel industry.
Weathering steel or COR-TEN steel refers to a series of steel alloys that develop a stable protective layer of rust when exposed to the atmosphere. This corrosion-resistant outer layer avoids further corrosion and does not require painting. Weathering steel has elements in its chemical composition such as copper, phosphorus, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, niobium, vanadium, and titanium that help in its improved corrosion resistance. Mechanical properties differ depending on the grade; for example, ASTM A242 has a 50 ksi yield strength and an ultimate tensile strength of 70 ksi for plates up to 0.75 inches thick. Such properties render weathering steel appropriate for uses where high strength and hardness are demanded.
