With its headquarters located in Houston, Texas, Luke Steel is a prominent producer and supplier of weathering steel plates and sheets. Luke Steel is well-known for providing premium, corrosion-resistant steel products to a variety of industries, such as architecture, transportation, infrastructure, and construction. Their weathering steel, sometimes referred to as COR-TEN steel, develops a protective rust-like patina on its own without painting, saving money on long-term upkeep. By emphasizing performance, aesthetics, and customer satisfaction, Luke Steel has established itself as a reliable brand in the US steel market, providing long-lasting solutions for both practical and decorative uses.
Alloying elements like copper, chromium, nickel, phosphorus, and silicon are included in weathering steel, also known as COR-TEN steel, to improve its resistance to corrosion. These components enable the steel to develop a stable oxide layer that stops rust from penetrating deeper. For plates up to 0.75 inches thick, grades like ASTM A242 provide mechanical qualities like a yield strength of 50 ksi (345 MPa) and tensile strength of up to 70 ksi (483 MPa). The steel is perfect for structural applications exposed to the atmosphere because of its excellent strength and formability.

Applications where both visual appeal and resistance to atmospheric corrosion are crucial frequently use weathering steel plates and sheets. They provide a longer service life and require less maintenance when used in roofing, bridges, building facades, and support structures. For long-lasting, low-maintenance performance, the transportation industry uses weathering steel in cargo structures, shipping containers, and railroad cars. Because of its distinctive weathered appearance, it is also preferred in architectural projects for outdoor installations, cladding, and sculptures. Because of its strength and resistance to corrosion, it is used in industries such as petrochemicals and agriculture for tanks and machinery that are exposed to corrosive materials.
