Product Description
Q500NH Corten Steel Plate is a premium-grade high-strength weathering steel under the GB/T 4171 standard.
Engineered for outstanding atmospheric corrosion resistance, it develops a stable rust-like protective surface layer when exposed to the environment, which reduces the need for painting or additional coating.

With a minimum yield strength of 500 MPa and tensile strength ranging from 600–760 MPa, Q500NH Corten Steel Plate is ideal for structural and architectural projects that require both durability and aesthetics.
This steel grade offers cost efficiency compared to stainless steel, as it uses only trace amounts of alloying elements such as copper, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and titanium.
