WEATHERING STEEL
High strength low alloy steel
ASTM A709 - Grades 50W, HPS 50W, HPS 70W, & HPS 100W
Expect 4 times the corrosion resistance of b l
High strength - low alloy steel
carbon steel
Forms tight oxide coating (patina)

WEATHERING STEEL
Patina is a thin layer of dense corrosionPatina is a thin layer of dense corrosion by-products that acts as a skin to protect against further corrosion.In use in United States since 1933.Developed for coal hopper cars to combat the corrosive effects of sulfur on steel.New High Performance Steel (HPS) has improved weathering characteristics.

Simple, Low Maintenance Bridge
Use of Weathering Steel
BENEFITS CAUTIONSBENEFITSLower Fab CostShorter Fab TimeNo Field PaintingNatural Appearance
CAUTIONSNot appropriate in foggy, coastal regionsNot for use in tunnel-like conditions where deicing salts are used
Minimal MaintenanceLower Life Cycle Cost
deicing salts are usedEvaluation needed in heavy industrial areas (corrosive chemicals)

Uncoated vs. Coated
Use of weathering steel is growing due to:Use of weathering steel is growing due to: Reduced cost for blast cleaning, edge grinding and surface preparation
Avoided cost of first coating systems
Time in the fabrication process to allow pcuring between coats
Reduced maintenance costs; traffic impact
Cost Studies
FIRST COST SAVINGS:FIRST COST SAVINGS:7 to 10%
LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS:

Relative First Costs
Material costs 3 - 4 cents/pound more
But, painting costs significantly higher
Net costs favors Weathering Steel
Material costs 3 4 cents/pound more

.. what about when weathering steel.. what about when weathering steel doesn’t ‘work’
weathering steel issue or other?
