SSAB Weathering steel for outlasting bridges and structures

To cope with the elements and the constant strains put on bridges, structural materials have to be extremely strong and durable.

SSAB Weathering steels are available in yield strength levels from 355–960 MPa. This allows for sophisticated design of lighter and stronger structures, easier to erect and reducing transportation movements.

Regardless of the decision for a painted or unpainted bridge structure, SSAB Weathering steel offers either less maintenance repainting or minimal maintenance altogether.

Plates for I beam / girder

• Strength level from 355, 420, 460 in Weathering steel and SSAB Domex
• Excellent weldability; No need to preheat with TM rolled material
• Excellent toughness both in base metal and welded joints
• Prefabricated plates – shot blasted, weld beveled, plasma cut

Back in 1889, construction was completed on one of the world’s most iconic structures – the Eiffel Tower. At a total height of 324 meters and a weight of 7,300 tons, it was an architectural and engineering masterpiece. Gustave Eiffel’s material of choice was wrought steel. But what would have happened if the Eiffel Tower had been made of SSAB Weathering steel?

Well, if they hadn’t painted it, they would have saved 8.6 tons of paint a year and all the man-hours that it entails. That is a staggering 1,092 tons of paint, which is shocking when you consider that rust would work just as well with a similar look.
