Product Specifications

Corten Steel I-Beam is a weather-resistant structural steel product shaped like the letter “I”, specifically designed for construction and engineering projects that require high strength and enhanced corrosion resistance. Manufactured from atmospheric corrosion-resistant steel, such as ASTM A588, EN 10025-5, or JIS G3114 grades, it forms a stable rust-like patina on the surface that eliminates the need for painting or surface coating in most outdoor environments.

Corten Steel I-Beam

Ideal for medium-duty structural applications, Corten I-Beams provide excellent mechanical performance while minimizing maintenance costs over time.


🔹 Key Features

  • Excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion

  • Self-healing rust layer reduces maintenance

  • High strength-to-weight ratio

  • Lighter than H-Beam for similar spans

  • Cost-effective for medium structural applications

  • Compatible with welding, cutting, drilling, and bolting

🔹 H-Beam vs I-Beam – Key Differences

Feature Corten H-Beam Corten I-Beam
Flange Width Wider, flat and uniform Narrower, tapered toward the web
Load Capacity Higher load-bearing in both axes Good for vertical loads only
Weight Heavier, more material Lighter, more economical
Use Cases Columns, bridges, heavy structural work Beams, purlins, secondary structures
Flexibility Better multi-directional stability More suitable for simple bending loads

👉 Choose I-Beam when your structure needs lightweight, efficient performance under vertical loads, with high weathering resistance.


🔹 Applications

  • Architectural framing in exposed environments

  • Structural beams in pavilions, canopies, and open-air facilities

  • Roof purlins and floor joists

  • Outdoor industrial structures and warehouses

  • Decorative or visible steel structures in landscaping or facades


🔹 Surface Finish

  • Mill finish (naturally rusts over time)

  • Pre-weathered/rusted finish available on request

  • Oil-coated or shot-blasted options for improved appearance


🔹 Why Choose Us

  • Wide range of international weathering steel grades

  • Export-standard packaging and fast delivery

  • Custom lengths and processing available
