An alloy of iron is called steel, about 2 of which is carbon, 95% of iron and 3% of various alloys such as chromium and manganese. Steel has a wide variety of uses in various industries. It also has different types, one of which is corton steel. In the following, we will fully examine this type of steel together.
Corton steel is a special type of steel, which is a type of alloy steel and refractory steel. This steel is composed of alloy compounds such as copper, chromium, nickel and phosphorus. Corton steel has a very high resistance to corrosion. This steel also has a very high compressive strength.
For the first time in the 1930s, U.S Steel produced a product called corton steel. Initially, this product was used to make coal wagons, but over time, this type of steel quickly became a popular material for outdoor art projects in the 1950s and 1960s. Still some of the first beautiful examples of corticosteroids in sculptures and structures can be found in the United States.
To produce corton steel, various alloys are first combined. These alloys are then melted in smelting furnaces. They are allowed to cool for a while and then the molten material is turned into sheets using specialized tools. These sheets are the same as corton steels.
1. Corton A: Corton is added to steel with this grade of phosphor, which is very useful for beauty and gas chimney. Now, if this type of steel is produced by hot rolling method, its thickness will be 2 to 12 mm and if it is produced by cold rolling method, its thickness will be 0.5 to 3 mm.
2. Corten B: This type of steel is used for heavy structures as well as bearing. Corton steel with this grade is produced only by hot rolling method and its thicknesses are 2 to 40 mm.
Corton steel can be used in various industries due to its unique properties and characteristics. The most important of these uses are as follows.
1. Can be used in making all kinds of dishes
2. Construction of various bridges
3. Construction of various types of construction equipment
4. Can be used in exhaust systems
5. Use as raw materials and base in the construction of various vehicles
6. Making all kinds of pots and outdoor sculptures
7. Use in the core of power plants
8. Making different types of chimneys
1. Retaining walls with attractive appearance and made of corten steel with the help of their narrow and delicate cross section significantly expand the useful space.
2. Making conical strips using this type of steel, which is used to shape terraced gardens.
3. Making different types of fireplaces
4. Making all kinds of water features
5. Use for exterior
1. Its color is usually blue or gray
2. It is coarse grained
