High Strength – Low Alloy Steel
High strength low alloy steel
• ASTM A709 - Grades 50W, HPS 50W, HPS 70W, & HPS 100W
• Expect 4 times the corrosion resistance of
High strength - low alloy steel
carbon steel
• Forms tight oxide coating (patina)

Protective Patina
Weathering Steel
• Patina is a thin layer of dense corrosion b d t th t t ki t t tby-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 steelthe corrosive effects of sulfur on steel.
• New High Performance Steel (HPS) has improved weathering characteristics.

Simple, Low Maintenance Bridge
Use of Weathering Steel
BENEFITS CAUTIONSBENEFITS• Lower Fab Cost
• Shorter Fab Time
• No Field Painting
• Natural Appearance
• Minimal Maintenance
CAUTIONS• Not appropriate in foggy,
coastal regions
• Not for use in tunnel-like conditions where deicing salts are used
E l ti d d i• Lower Life Cycle Cost
• Evaluation 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
Ti i th f b i ti t ll• Time in the fabrication process to allow curing between coats
• Reduced maintenance costs; traffic impact
Cost Studies
• FIRST COST SAVINGS:FIRST COST SAVINGS:
10 TO 18%
• LIFE CYCLE SAVINGS:YES - ???YES - ???
