Strategically based in Amman, Jordan, Yazan Steel stands as a leading regional force for robust and architecturally compelling steel solutions. We specialize in supplying ASTM A242 Type 1 Corten steel, a material celebrated not just for its strength but for its unique, self-protecting character. This steel develops a stable, rust-like patina when exposed to the elements, eliminating the need for painting while offering exceptional longevity, making it an intelligent choice for both structural and aesthetic projects across the Middle East.
The integrity of this steel comes from its specific chemical composition, which includes added elements like phosphorus, copper, and chromium. This special mix is what prompts the formation of its protective patina. In terms of performance, it meets the rigorous ASTM A242 Type 1 standard, guaranteeing a high minimum yield strength that provides remarkable structural durability and resistance to atmospheric corrosion far exceeding that of ordinary carbon steels.
