At Esha Steel, we proudly supply premium ASTM A242 Type 2 Corten Steel Sheets and Plates to industries across Kolkata and nationwide. Designed for superior weathering and long-term durability, these sheets and plates combine structural strength with aesthetic appeal. Manufactured to ASTM standards, Esha Steel ensures precise dimensions, consistent quality, and excellent mechanical performance. Trusted by construction, infrastructure, and architectural sectors, ASTM A242 Type 2 steel provides maintenance-free, corrosion-resistant solutions for outdoor structures, bridges, building facades, and decorative or industrial applications exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
ASTM A242 Type 2 Corten Steel Sheets and Plates are alloyed with copper, chromium, and nickel, along with controlled carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon content. This composition improves corrosion resistance, toughness, and mechanical strength. Mechanically, Type 2 plates offer a minimum tensile strength of 485 MPa and yield strength of 345 MPa, with good elongation and impact resistance. Over time, a protective rust-like patina forms on the steel surface, enhancing durability and weather resistance. The steel also provides excellent weldability and fabrication capabilities without compromising strength or structural integrity.
