BlueScope Library

The purpose of this Technical Bulletin is to highlight some key areas for consideration when designing, installing, or maintaining BlueScope coated steel products specifically in exterior walling applications.

This Technical Note describes the general precautions and consumable requirements for the welding of REDCOR® weathering steel grades.

This technical note has been developed to provide customers with information regarding untrimmed weld condition which should be a consideration when ordering and processing product.

This Technical Note outlines why plate customers should not accept third-party modification of the grade designation and be aware of the risks involved in using third-party testing laboratories to conduct additional mechanical testing.

Covers changes to standards: AS/NZS 3678, AS/NZS 3679.1 and AS/NZS 3679.2 (released April 2016)
