Weathering Steel is a high-strength, low-alloy steel, with excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance due to the addition of expensive elements such as copper, nickel, chromium, silicone, manganese, and phosphorus.
The rich patina of Weathering Steel is being seen more often in bridge building, metal beam guard rails, power poles, structures, and sculptures. When you look around you will see it everywhere. The aesthetic value of this weathered and textured material, combined with the ease of handling, forming, and low maintenance, makes it a practical material with many uses.
It develops a unique, natural oxide coating that, when fully mature, is dense, tightly adherent, and impervious to further atmospheric corrosion.
