This webinar will present SSAB Weathering steel, a durable, corrosion-resistant steel. Its unique chemical composition allows it to develop a protective patina layer from this rust, shielding the steel from further harmful exposure, while also providing incredible paint retention, as well as a unique finish. This results in reduced maintenance costs, regardless whether the steel is painted or not.

The webinar will address topics, such as: 

  • How SSAB Weathering steel forms its protective patina layer during the oxidation process.
  • How effective painted SSAB Weathering steel is in resisting degradation and retaining paint within a corrosive environment (with results from the six-year corrosion test).
  • Real-world applications of SSAB Weathering steel and customer cases where SSAB Weathering steel was used, such as the newly built rood over the Hashalom railway station in Tel Aviv.
