🟧 Product Overview

ASTM A588 / EN S355J2W / Q355GNH / SPA‑H represents the global high‑strength weathering steel family, widely known as Corten‑type steel. These steels develop a stable, dense oxide patina that protects the material from further corrosion, significantly extending service life in outdoor environments.

• ASTM A588 – The most widely used international weathering steel standard
• EN S355J2W – European structural weathering steel with excellent toughness
• Q355GNH – Chinese high‑strength atmospheric corrosion resistant steel
• SPA‑H – Japanese JIS G3125 weathering steel for structural applications

This international combination ensures compatibility with global engineering standards and project requirements.

🟧 Standards

• ASTM A588 – High‑Strength Low‑Alloy Structural Steel with Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance
• EN 10025‑5 – Structural Steels with Improved Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance
• JIS G3125 – SPA‑H Weathering Steel
• GB/T 4171 – Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Structural Steel
