What is JIS G3125 SPA-H Corten Steel?
SPA-H is a low-alloy, high-strength atmospheric corrosion-resistant steel defined by the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS G3125). It is the global benchmark material for shipping container manufacturing. Unlike standard carbon steel, SPA-H contains specific alloying elements that create a protective barrier against oxygen and moisture, making it ideal for harsh marine and industrial environments.

We are looking for a cooperative partner to expand our business.
Precision Slitting: Eliminate Production Line Jams
We solve the headache of dimensional tolerance. Promisteel provides customized thickness (2.0-35.0mm) and width (600-3000mm) with strict tolerance controls. Our precision slitting ensures the coils feed smoothly into your automated stamping lines without jamming or waste.
Certified Alloy Content: 100% JIS G3125 Compliance
Worried about fake "corten" steel? We strictly adhere to the JIS G3125 standard, ensuring the correct mass fraction of Copper (0.25-0.60%), Chromium (0.30-1.25%), and Nickel (≤0.65%). Every coil comes with an original Mill Test Certificate (MTC) and supports third-party inspection (e.g., SGS).
Superior Formability: Zero Cracking During Deep Drawing
Container panels require complex corrugation. Our SPA-H coils feature controlled Yield Strength (≥345MPa for ≤6mm) and excellent Elongation (≥22%). This ensures the material can withstand bending (radius 0.5t) and deep drawing processes without cracking or deforming.
Marine-Grade Durability: 2-8x Lifespan of Carbon Steel
Stop frequent container maintenance. Thanks to the dense oxide layer formed by Cu, Cr, and Ni, our SPA-H steel offers 2 to 8 times better atmospheric corrosion resistance than ordinary carbon steel. It is specifically engineered to withstand high-salt marine fog and extreme temperature fluctuations.
Weldability Guarantee: No "Weak Links" in Structure
Structural integrity relies on good welds. We strictly control impurities like Phosphorus (≤0.040%) and Sulfur (≤0.030%). This ensures our SPA-H steel maintains structural stability during welding, preventing brittle fractures in container corner posts and frames.
Cost Efficiency: Lower Lifecycle Maintenance
Reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). While cheaper upfront, carbon steel requires constant repainting. SPA-H reduces the need for frequent maintenance and repainting due to its self-healing rust layer, significantly cutting operational costs over the container's service life.
Technical Specifications & Mechanical Properties
Key elements ensuring corrosion resistance:
| Chemical Composition (JIS G3125) | |
| Copper (Cu) | 0.25 - 0.60% |
| Chromium (Cr) | 0.30 - 1.25% |
| Nickel (Ni) | ≤ 0.65% |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.040% |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.030% |
| Mechanical Performance | ||
| Thickness (mm) | ≤ 6.0mm | 6.0 - 16.0mm |
| Yield Strength (ReH) | ≥ 345 MPa | ≥ 335 MPa |
| Tensile Strength (Rm) | 480 - 620 MPa | 490 - 630 MPa |
| Elongation (A) | ≥ 22% | ≥ 15% |
Processing Capabilities
- Bending: For thickness ≤6mm, the minimum bending radius is 0.5 times the thickness, ensuring precise forming of corrugated panels.
- Welding: The low carbon content (≤0.12%) and controlled impurities allow for high-quality welding without special pre-heating in most container applications.
- Slitting: We offer precision slitting for coils to meet your exact width requirements, ranging from 600mm to 3000mm.
Applications
While SPA-H is the gold standard for marine shipping containers, its durability makes it a versatile choice for:
- Land Logistics: Railway vans and trucks.
- Industrial Equipment: Anti-corrosion structural parts in sulfur-rich environments.
- Port Infrastructure: Equipment exposed to high salt spray.
