No more 'Cold Blue Steel' | Location: Springfield, Massachusetts
The COR-TEN steel, or the weathering steel, forms a protective coating on its surface that has a corrosion retarding effect. The constituents of COR-TEN steel are the usual suspects:
Carbon, Silica, Manganese, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Chromium, Copper, Nickel, Vanadium (only in Grade B)
On the recent inspection of the I-91 Northbound in the city of Springfield (different from the Springfield in The Simpsons), this picture is taken from atop a 20ft ladder looking along the new fascia beam made of COR-TEN steel and added to the first few spans for widening the deck.
