Located in the industrial heart of Muscat, Oman, Faisal Steel has established itself as a trusted name for robust and reliable steel solutions. We take pride in specializing in the supply of ASTM A242 Type 1 Corten Steel sheet and plates, a material celebrated for its remarkable durability. This high-strength, low-alloy steel is engineered to develop a protective rust-like patina when exposed to the elements, making it an ideal choice for projects that demand both long-lasting structural integrity and a distinct, aesthetically pleasing finish.
The distinct character of ASTM A242 Type 1 Corten Steel comes from its special blend of elements, including copper, chromium, nickel, and silicon. This composition allows it to form a tightly adherent rust layer that actually protects the metal beneath from further corrosion. Mechanically, it offers an excellent yield strength, ensuring it can handle significant structural loads while also providing good weldability and formability for easier fabrication, perfectly balancing toughness with practical workability for demanding environments.

We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
The uses for this versatile material are extensive and often visually striking. It is the go-to choice for constructing enduring bridges, rugged shipping containers, and eye-catching architectural facades and outdoor sculptures where its evolving patina becomes part of the design. Furthermore, its strength and weather resistance make it invaluable for unlined coal bunkers, hoppers, and various heavy-duty structural applications across Oman and beyond, where longevity and minimal maintenance are paramount.
