A606 | Weathering Steel
A606 | Weathering Steel
A606 is an HSLA steel that meets ASTM A588 and ASTM A242 standards. Its prominent feature is its high resistance to atmospheric corrosion and aesthetic appeal. It is ideal for outdoor applications like bridges, buildings, and sculptures. It includes two main subgrades: A606-4 and A606-3, with A606-4 being the most commonly used due to its superior resistance.
SteelPro Group is a leading supplier of A606 weathering steel, specializing in custom sizes and high corrosion resistance.
Description
What is A606?
A606 is also known as COR-TEN steel, primarily composed of copper, chromium, nickel, and phosphorus. It is available in plates, sheets, and coils, processed by hot or cold rolling. A606 is classified into two subgrades: A606-4, which has higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion, and A606-3, often used in less severe environments.
Why Choose A606 Steel?
A606 weathering steel offers a balanced combination of corrosion resistance, strength, and workability, making it ideal for a wide range of outdoor applications. Compared to other weathering steels, A606-4 is more resistant to corrosion, especially in environments with frequent moisture exposure, while A606-3 provides a cost-effective solution for less harsh conditions. For projects requiring superior mechanical properties and resistance in extreme environments, A588 or A709 steels are better choices.
Choose us for A606 weathering steel with reliable corrosion resistance, fast delivery, and custom sizes. Our typical plate thickness ranges from 6 mm to 100 mm. Our material meets ASTM A588 and A242 standards, ensuring quality and cost-effective solutions for long-lasting projects.

A606 Heat Treatment Product Options
A606 Surface Finish Product Options
To meet your project needs, we provide a variety of surface finishing options including:
- Shot Blasting: Cleans the surface by using high-velocity abrasive particles, ensuring a smooth and uniform finish while preparing the steel for further processing or coating.
- Protective Coating: Applies a durable protective layer, such as a clear finish or corrosion-resistant coating, to further enhance the longevity.
- Passivation: Accelerates the development of the protective patina, improving the resistance to environmental corrosion by stabilizing the oxide layer.
- Pickling: A chemical process that removes surface impurities like oxides and scales, ensuring a smooth, clean surface for better patina formation and more consistent corrosion resistance.
Additionally, we specialize in customized surface treatments to meet the specific needs of your project, whether it is a unique finish for an artistic installation or specialized corrosion protection for an industrial application.
