ASTM A-606-sheet and ASTM A-588-plate
(CORTEN) Four or five times more resistant to atmospheric corrosion than low carbon steel. Excellent weldability and formability. Product is available in two types: Type 2 contains 0.18 min. Cu. Type 4 provides a level of corrosion resistance better than that of carbon steels with or without copper addition.

AR-200
Abrasion resistant. Medium carbon. High magnesium steel designed for sliding abrasion applications.
Brinell hardness - 185 to 235
AR-400
This steel is heat treated to produce a high strength, high hardness product with a Brinell Hardness range of 360 to 440.
ASTM A-514 (T-1)
Weldable, quenched and tempered high strength steel with good impact abrasion resistance characteristics. Product is available in 13 grades in addition to Grades B and S, depending on thickness.
