Cor-ten a applies to plates up to 12.five mm in thickness, Cor-ten b applies to plates up to 50 mm in thickness.
Definition
Weathering method that because of their chemical compositions Cor-ten a and Cor-ten b steels, whilst applied unprotected, reveals increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion in comparison to unalloyed steels. That is because it bureaucracy a shielding layer on its surface under the influence of the climate.
Packages
