A606 steel is a High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel with improved corrosion resistance compared with carbon steel. It is formable, machinable, and weldable. This type of steel is also known as weathering steel. The material composition leads to the development of an orange-brown oxide file (rust) which aids in the resistance to corrosive elements.

ASTM A606 steel sheet is desirable in conditions where corrosion resistance is required.

Overview

1. Corrosion-resistant structural steel sheet that has a high durability.

2. Available in three types: Type II, Type IV (most common) and Type V.

3. Available as hot-rolled and cold-rolled, but Leeco only supplies hot-rolled.

4. Often referred to as Corten or Weathering steel.

5. In addition to carbon, manganese, sulfur and copper, Type IV may contain other alloying elements to further resist corrosion at the discretion of the manufacturer.

6. Charpy test requirements may be requested.

7. May be certified to meet multiple standards on Mill Test Report, but guaranteed to be certified to meet A606 standards.
