Features
Weather Resistance
Because COR-TEN has high weather resistance, it can be used
without painting. Unpainted applications not only offer the
economic advantage of reducing repainting costs; they also offer
aesthetic benefits associated with the calming color of the
protective rust.
While weather resistance depends on the product grade and
the application environment, COR-TENs weather resistance is
nearly 4~8 times that of ordinary steel.
Paint durability
COR-TEN is paintable in the same way as ordinary steel. In
addition, even if a painting defect should occur, COR-TEN
suppresses the progress of rust area and, accordingly, prolongs
the service life of the paint, thereby reducing repainting costs.
Weldability
While trace amounts of alloying elements such as copper (Cu)
and chromate (Cr) are added to COR-TEN to ensure high
weather resistance, the carbon content is lowered to provide
appropriate weldability. Accordingly, COR-TEN can be welded
using either manual, gas-shield or submerged arc welding. In
addition, spot welding can be applied to thin-gauge COR-TEN.
Workability
COR-TEN possesses workability (cold forming, hot forming and
gas cutting) similar to ordinary steels of same strength.
Reliability
Since 1959 when COR-TEN began to be marketed, more than
2.6 million tons of this material have been produced. (2013 end)

Exposure
In the initial stage of application, COR-TEN shows a yellowish appearance. This is followed by a gradual change
in the color of the protective rust from brown to a stable dark brown after one to two years in general application
environments. Afterwards, the coloration shows no clear change except perhaps to a deeper dark brown.

Using COR-TEN O, Cu-containing steel and ordinary carbon steel in industrial, semi-rural and coastal areas, H.R. Copson
and C.P. Larrabee jointly surveyed paint deterioration and corrosion rates over an 8- year span. The results of the survey
are shown below. The test results show that the higher the corrosion resistance of the steel grade, the longer the service
life of the paint film. The service life of paint applied to COR-TEN is expected to be 1.5 times (2 times on average) greater
than for other steel materials.

Painting condition
Ordinary steel
Notes:
a) The test piece of cold-rolled carbon steel caused corrosion from its rear side, and pitting occurred in 8 years, leading to nearly damage.
b) When the breach of paint coatings occurs on the 2% of the sheet surface, including the cut edges, it is defined as deterioration of painting.
c) Paint breach: Less than 2% even when 8 years have passed
d) Rust below paint film caused discoloration, and the film was not breached.
