REDCOR® steel Supplied by Coil Steels
When our customers require REDCOR® weathering steel products to complement their sheet and coil needs, Coil Steels can supply a range of the BlueScope manufactured REDCOR® weathering steel.
REDCOR® weathering steel may be used in many applications from structural, such as bridges, to non-structural applications such as facades, screens, sculptures, and noise-wall barriers. This product develops a stable oxide layer on the surface of the steel known as the ‘patina’. When detailed correctly and exposed to alternating wet and dry conditions, the colour of the patina changes organically over time, giving it a striking appearance.
REDCOR® weathering steel allows our customers to bring the natural outback look and feel to the city and into your project. It evokes images that many readily associate with Australia such as the red Australian outback and celebrates the history of the Australian landscape.
There are two chemistry types of REDCOR® steel; product grades with an “A” suffix and product grades with a “B” suffix. Type “A” is manufactured with a higher phosphorous content to improve weathering resistance for light-gauge plates and is typically used in facades and architectural applications. Type “B” material is made with lower phosphorous levels in order to improve the weldability of the steel for structural applications, such as bridges.
