Product details

Weathering Steel Channel 120x60mm is engineered to thrive in the harshest outdoor environments, combining robust structural performance with exceptional corrosion resistance. This 120x60mm C-shaped channel—crafted from weathering steel (such as Corten A or equivalent grades)—forms a protective oxide layer over time, eliminating the need for constant coatings or maintenance. It’s the ideal choice for projects where longevity, sustainability, and a distinctive aesthetic are paramount.

Parameter	Specification	Unit	Remarks
Material Grade	Commonly grades like Corten A, Corten B (equivalent to various international designations depending on region)	—	Specifically designed for enhanced weathering resistance
Chemical Composition (Typical for Weathering Steels)	C: 0.12 – 0.21% (varies by grade), Si: 0.25 – 0.75%, Mn: 0.20 – 0.50%, P: 0.07 – 0.15%, S: ≤0.05%, with alloying elements like Cu (0.25 – 0.55%), Cr (0.30 – 1.25%), Ni (≤0.65%) etc.	—	Alloying elements contribute to weathering and corrosion resistance properties
Cross-Sectional Dimensions	Web height: 120, Flange width: 60	mm	Defines the size and shape of the channel steel
Thickness (Variable)	Usually web and flange thicknesses range from 3 – 8 mm (depending on specific product and application requirements)	mm	Affects the weight and strength of the channel steel
Weight per Meter (Approximate, Based on Thickness)	For example, if thickness is around 5 mm, it could be approximately [X] kg/m (actual value varies with exact thickness)	kg/m	Calculated based on dimensions and density of the steel
Yield Strength (Minimum, Varies by Grade)	Generally around 345 – 460 MPa (e.g., Corten A might have a minimum yield strength within this range)	MPa	Key indicator of its ability to bear loads without permanent deformation
Tensile Strength (Typical Range by Grade)	Typically in the range of 480 – 620 MPa (varies for different weathering steel grades)	MPa	Range of strength under tensile forces
Elongation (Minimum, by Grade)	Usually ≥22% (but can vary depending on the specific grade and standard)	%	Demonstrates its ductility and ability to deform before breaking
Weathering Resistance	High, forms a protective oxide layer over time when exposed to the atmosphere, reducing the need for additional corrosion protection coatings in many cases	—	Main advantage over traditional steels in outdoor applications
Weldability	Good, with proper welding procedures and consumables suitable for these alloyed steels	—	Can be welded for fabrication purposes
Bendability	Moderate to good depending on thickness and specific alloy composition, may require specialized equipment for sharp bends due to its strength and alloying	—	Ability to be shaped as per design requirements
Surface Finish (Initial)	Mill finish or can have a slightly textured appearance due to the alloying elements and manufacturing process	—	May change over time as the protective oxide layer forms
Typical Applications	Outdoor structures like bridges, railway stations, industrial buildings, sculptures, and any infrastructure exposed to the elements where the natural weathering look is desired and corrosion resistance is crucial	—	Ideal for long-term outdoor use without frequent maintenance for corrosion protection
