Why choose ABRATIG CT filler metal?
Choosing ABRATIG CT filler metal (also known as self-smoothing steel or weathering steel) is justified in very specific contexts. Here are the main reasons:
- Perfect for Corten / patinable steels
TIG Corten is specially designed for welding Corten steels (type S355J2W, COR-TEN A/B, etc.), while preserving :
-The same color and patina with age,
-the mechanical properties of the base material,
-resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
–>Without this specific filler metal, the weld bead could rust differently from the rest of the part.
- Uniform appearance on visible structures
Widely used in :
-architecture (facades, sculptures, cladding),
-urban landscaping (benches, tubs, bridges),
-or metal art, TIG Corten maintains a homogeneous aesthetic, with no variation in color or rust between the welded metal and the original metal.
- Good weldability and mechanical strength
This filler metal offers good tensile strength, fatigue strength and creep resistance.
It generally contains a little nickel, copper and chromium to enhance corrosion resistance while remaining weldable.
- Long-lasting outdoor resistance
Thanks to its natural protective patina, Corten steel requires no painting or treatment, and TIG Corten maintains this self-protection even at the weld level.
