Do not hesitate to contact us for more information Corten Steel Features Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a material often used in architecture and sculpture due to its distinctive appearance and special properties. Here are its main features: 1. Corrosion Resistance • Corten steel is specially formulated to develop a protective layer of rust when exposed to the elements. This layer of rust significantly slows the rate of corrosion, extending the durability of the material compared to ordinary steel. 2. Aesthetics • One of the most notable features of Corten steel is its rusty appearance. Over time, it develops a rusty-brown patina that varies depending on the weather conditions. This patina is sought after for its natural, rustic appearance. 3. Durability • Thanks to its increased resistance to corrosion, Corten steel is particularly durable, even in harsh outdoor environments. It is often used in the construction of bridges, building facades, sculptures, and outdoor furniture. 4. Composition • Corten steel contains alloys of copper, chromium, nickel, and phosphorus. These elements are essential for the formation of the protective rust layer. The percentage of each element may vary slightly depending on the type of Corten used. 5. Mechanical Properties • Tensile Strength: Corten steel has a high tensile strength, comparable to other structural steels. • Ductility: It is ductile enough to be formed and welded, although special care is required when welding due to its composition. 6. Maintenance • Unlike other metal materials that require regular treatments to prevent rust, Corten steel requires little maintenance once the protective patina has formed. 7. Uses • Architecture and Design: Facades, walls, and architectural structures where an aged or industrial appearance is desired. • Sculpture: Used by many artists for outdoor works, due to its resistance and aesthetic aging. • Landscaping: Borders, benches, and other outdoor furniture elements.
