Q235NH forms a stable rust layer on its surface after being exposed to the weather. This layer effectively protects the steel from further corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor use without the need for frequent maintenance or painting.
High Strength:
The plate has a good combination of strength and ductility, making it suitable for various load-bearing structures. It maintains excellent mechanical properties even in harsh weather conditions.
Self-Protective Patina:
When exposed to air, the steel develops a patina or protective rust layer. Unlike ordinary steel, this patina acts as a barrier, preventing deeper corrosion. The more the steel is exposed to the elements, the stronger the protective layer becomes.
Cost-Effective:
Q235NH offers a long service life with minimal maintenance, reducing the overall cost of ownership. It doesn’t require additional protective coatings, which also cuts down on maintenance costs compared to regular steel.
Good Weldability and Formability:
This grade of steel can be easily welded, cut, and shaped, which makes it versatile in manufacturing processes and suitable for a wide range of applications.
Advantages of Q235NH Corten Steel Plate:
Low Maintenance: Requires little to no maintenance as the protective rust layer naturally forms over time.
Long Lifespan: Resistant to atmospheric corrosion, particularly in harsh environments.
Aesthetic Appeal: Provides a distinctive appearance for architectural and decorative uses.
