Weathering Steel Composition
Just like anything else, there will always be advantages and disadvantages. Using weathering steel in construction can present several challenges. One challenge can be the weld-points that weather at the same rate as the other materials may require special welding techniques. Also, weathering...

Product Introduction
Weathering steel is not the same as other corrosion-resistant steels, such as austenitic stainless steel, which resists the accumulation of rust. Weathering steel can rust, but only on the outer surface. If the exterior coating of rust has grown, the rust does not reach further into the weathering steel. The rusty surface coating serves as a shield, shielding the steel from further corrosion. The rust layer formed in the plain carbon steel is porous and breaks off, so it allows another layer to form deeper into the material. The cycle goes on till the steel is useless. The first layer rust on the metal forms to hold on to the steel because of contribution of alloys. Hence there is no need to coat the metal with protective layer.
