S355j0wp Corten
S355J0WP Corten steel is a high-performance weathering steel that combines:
- Stable corrosion-resistant patina
- Good mechanical strength (≥355 MPa yield)
- Excellent suitability for outdoor structures
- Keterangan
S355J0WP is a European standard weathering steel grade defined under EN 10025-5. It belongs to the Corten steel family and is designed for improved atmospheric corrosion resistance. The “WP” designation indicates enhanced resistance to weather conditions, while “J0” refers to its impact energy requirement at 0°C.
This material develops a stable oxide layer (patina) when exposed to the environment, which protects the steel from further corrosion and eliminates the need for painting in many applications.
Komposisi Kimia S355J0WP
S355J0WP contains a balanced combination of alloying elements that promote corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
Komposisi Kimia Khas (% berat)
| Elemen | Isi (%) |
|---|---|
| Karbon (C) | ≤ 0.12 |
| Silikon (Dan) | 0.25 – 0.75 |
| mangan (M N) | 0.20 – 1.50 |
| Fosfor (P) | 0.07 – 0.15 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Tembaga (Cu) | 0.25 – 0.55 |
| Kromium (Kr) | 0.30 – 1.25 |
| Nikel (Di dalam) | ≤ 0.65 |
Wawasan Utama:
Tembaga, kromium, and phosphorus are critical for forming the dense protective rust layer that distinguishes Corten steel from ordinary carbon steel.
Sifat Mekanik S355J0WP
S355J0WP offers a good balance of strength, kekerasan, dan kemampuan las.
Sifat Mekanik
| Milik | Nilai |
|---|---|
| Kekuatan Hasil | ≥ 355 MPa |
| Kekuatan Tarik | 470 – 630 MPa |

Karakteristik Kinerja Utama
Ketahanan Korosi Atmosfer
S355J0WP forms a protective patina layer that significantly slows corrosion. Compared to standard carbon steel, its corrosion resistance can be several times higher under suitable conditions.
Persyaratan Perawatan Rendah
The self-protecting surface eliminates or reduces the need for painting and coating, lowering maintenance costs over time.
Kemampuan Las yang Baik
The relatively low carbon content ensures that S355J0WP can be welded using conventional welding methods with proper procedures.
Penampilan Estetika
The stable rust-colored surface is widely used in architectural designs for its natural and industrial look.
Common Applications of S355J0WP
S355J0WP is widely used in environments where both structural performance and weather resistance are required.

S355J0WP vs Other Corten Grades
Compared with other weathering steel grades:
- S355J2W: Better low-temperature impact performance (-20°C), used in colder climates
- A588 / A242: Common American standards with similar corrosion resistance but slightly different composition ranges
S355J0WP is often selected when moderate low-temperature toughness and good weather resistance are required.
