Warnings

• This material should be used in conjunction with the appropriate structural design and welding standards.
• An untrimmed (Mill) edge may contain minor surface discontinuities as a result of the rolling process. It is recommended that customers satisfy themselves that the edge is suitable for the application.
• The weather resistance of this material is due to the formation of an impervious oxide layer through the use of alloy additions. Damage to this layer, or environmental conditions affecting the development of this layer, will impact on the effectiveness of the corrosion resistance.
• Colour retention across welds can be achieved by appropriate electrode selection. Welds may be susceptible to hot cracking.
• Weathering steels are not recommended without further protection for buried or submerged situations or for applications exposed to concentrated industrial fumes or severe marine conditions.
