Samuel Steels is a reputable manufacturer and supplier based in Abuja, Nigeria, known for providing top-notch ASTM A242 Type 2 Corten Steel Sheets and Plates. These products are celebrated for their exceptional corrosion resistance and weathering capabilities. Designed to develop a stable, rust-like finish when exposed to the elements, they eliminate the need for painting. Adhering to international standards, Samuel Steels guarantees a superb surface finish, consistent thickness, and mechanical strength, making them perfect for both structural and architectural uses. The ASTM A242 Type 2 Corten Steel Plates are built for long-lasting durability, making them ideal for outdoor structures, bridges, facades, and industrial frameworks that face tough conditions.
ASTM A242 Type 2 Corten Steel Sheets and Plates are made up of carbon (maximum 0.12%), manganese (0.20–0.50%), silicon (0.25–0.75%), chromium (0.40–0.65%), copper (0.25–0.55%), nickel (maximum 0.30%), along with trace amounts of phosphorus and sulfur. This well-balanced composition boosts both atmospheric corrosion resistance and strength. The plates showcase a tensile strength ranging from 480 to 620 MPa, a yield strength of 340 MPa, and an elongation of 20%. When exposed to the atmosphere, the alloy forms a protective oxide layer, offering remarkable resistance to moisture, oxidation, and environmental wear over time.
