Nestled in the heart of Addis Ababa, Desta Steel stands as a trusted source for robust and enduring steel solutions. We are proud to supply ASTM A242 Type 2 Corten Steel, a material celebrated for its remarkable ability to form a protective, self-renewing rust layer when exposed to the elements. This unique characteristic makes it an exceptional choice for projects where longevity and a distinct, rustic aesthetic are paramount, offering both durability and visual appeal for the modern builder and architect.
The strength of this steel comes from its specific makeup, which includes additions like phosphorus, copper, and chromium. These elements work in harmony to grant the material its signature weather-resistant properties. In terms of performance, it reliably delivers a high yield strength, ensuring structural integrity under significant stress, while maintaining good weldability and formability for versatile application across various fabrication and construction needs.
