Weathering anti-corrosion steel, or SPA-H steel plate, is mostly used in trucks, containers, railroads, etc. SPA-H steel plate, SPA-H steel coil, and SPA-H steel sheet with thin thickness are all in good condition and conform to JIS G 3125 atmospheric corrosion resisting steel grade. Spa-H Corten A Shipping Container Parts can be used in environments with sulphur and moisture vapor due to greater Chromium (Min. 0.3%) and Copper (Min. 0.25%) content.
Benefit of Using Spa-H Corten A Shipping Container Parts
Weather Resistance
Steel for containers can be used without painting because of its strong resistance to weather. Applications left unpainted not only have the financial benefit of saving money on repainting, but also benefit aesthetically from the soothing hue of the protective rust.
Paint Durability
Similar to regular steel, corten steel can be painted. Additionally, Corten steel prevents the spread of rust even in the event that a painting flaw occurs. This extends the lifespan of the paint and lowers the cost of repainting.
Weld ability
Corten steel is alloyed with trace amounts of elements like copper (CU) and chromate (Cr) to ensure good weather resistance, while the carbon content is reduced to ensure proper weld ability. Accordingly, hand, gas-shield, or submerged arc welding can all be used to join Corten steel. Additionally, thin-gauge Corten steel can be spot-welded.

This steel is the finest option for the construction of agricultural vans and railroad wagons, bridge structures, water pipelines, fans, chimneys, and boilers due to its mechanical properties and resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
When the material is exposed to air elements, it creates its own protective layer. In essence, the top layer corrodes first, shielding the steel below. The material is a highly cost-effective substitute for other structural steels because the natural finish typically doesn’t require any care, such as painting.
