Introduction

ISO 5952 specifies requirements for hot-rolled steel sheets of structural quality with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance. These steels are commonly known as weathering steels and are designed to develop a protective oxide layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions.

ISO 5952 covers hot-rolled steel sheet supplied in grades suitable for structural and engineering applications where improved resistance to atmospheric corrosion is required. The material is a carbon/low-alloy structural steel rather than stainless steel.

Ladhani Metal Corporation supplies ISO 5952 hot-rolled steel sheets in required grades, thicknesses, widths, lengths and surface conditions.


Applicable Standard

ISO 5952 – Hot-Rolled Steel Sheet of Structural Quality with Improved Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance.

The standard specifies requirements relating to chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, surface characteristics and testing.


Material Type

ISO 5952 covers:

  • Weathering Steel Sheet
  • Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steel
  • Hot-Rolled Structural Steel Sheet
  • Low-Alloy Structural Steel
  • Corrosion-Resistant Structural Steel
  • Carbon-Manganese Steel with Alloying Elements

ISO 5952 material is not stainless steel. Its improved atmospheric corrosion resistance is obtained through controlled alloying and formation of a protective surface layer.


Forms of Supply

  • Hot-Rolled Steel Sheets
  • Weathering Steel Sheets
  • Structural Steel Sheets
  • Cut-to-Length Sheets
  • Flat Sheets
  • Plates where dimensions fall within the applicable standard
  • Custom Cut Sheets

Grades Covered

ISO 5952 includes weathering structural steel grades designated according to the standard's requirements for chemical composition and mechanical properties.

The applicable grade should be selected according to the required thickness, strength level and atmospheric exposure conditions.


Grade Designation

ISO 5952 grades are intended to provide structural strength together with improved resistance to atmospheric corrosion.

The designation identifies the relevant steel grade and its specified mechanical properties. Grade selection depends on the required yield strength, tensile strength, thickness and service environment.


Chemical Composition

The chemical composition of ISO 5952 weathering steels is controlled to provide improved atmospheric corrosion resistance.

Delivery Conditions

ISO 5952 hot-rolled sheets can be supplied in suitable hot-rolled delivery conditions.

  • As-Rolled
  • Hot-Rolled
  • Normalized or Normalized-Rolled where specified
  • Cut-to-Length
  • Surface Condition as agreed

The required delivery condition should be specified when placing the order.


Surface Finish

ISO 5952 sheets have a hot-rolled surface suitable for structural applications.

Available surface conditions can include:

  • Hot-Rolled Surface
  • Mill Surface
  • Descaled Surface
  • Pickled Surface where specified
  • Shot-Blasted Surface where specified

Weathering steel develops a protective patina progressively under suitable atmospheric exposure.


Dimensional Accuracy

ISO 5952 sheets are supplied with controlled:

  • Thickness
  • Width
  • Length
  • Flatness
  • Straightness
  • Edge Condition
  • Surface Quality

Standard dimensional tolerances apply according to the applicable requirements, while special tolerances can be agreed where permitted.


Standard Sizes

ISO 5952 hot-rolled steel sheets can be supplied in various thicknesses, widths and lengths.

  • Thickness: According to standard and grade
  • Width: Standard or custom

Fabrication and Machining

ISO 5952 hot-rolled weathering steel sheets can generally be cut, drilled, formed, welded and fabricated using appropriate procedures.

Welding procedures should take account of the steel grade, sheet thickness, carbon equivalent and required service conditions. Suitable consumables and preheating requirements should be established according to the welding procedure.


Heat Treatment

ISO 5952 hot-rolled weathering steel is supplied primarily for structural applications rather than as a heat-treatment steel.

Depending on the specified grade and delivery condition, products may be supplied:

  • As-Rolled
  • Normalized
  • Normalized-Rolled

Any subsequent heat treatment should be evaluated carefully because it can affect the mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour of the material.
