Products Description
Corten steel, also called Weather Resistant steel or Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant steel, it is known as a low cost and highly effective material.
Corten steel is classed as being a "self -protecting "steel for its "patina "which results from protective surface oxidation and develops during exposure to the atmosphere; The oxide layer that gives the steel its distinctive appearance and enhances weather resistant capabilities compared to standard steels, also the improved corrosion performance can lead to improved service life.
Corten steels are typically used in Railway, bridges, rolling stock, shipping container, Garden building, and other structural applications.

FAQ
Does corten steel need maintenance?
As mentioned above, corten steel is very low maintenance. However, we do recommend regular checks and cleaning to make up part of a periodic maintenance schedule. Remove any packaging from the product as soon as the delivery is received. Shrink wrap or other packaging materials may cause an uneven patina.
What is the weakness of corten steel?
Disadvantage 1: Susceptibility to rusting through when exposed to moisture for long periods. Corten steel tends to rust quickly if exposed to moisture for a long time. If Corten steel stays wet for too long, it does not get a chance to dry and there is a chance of rusting through.
Why is it called corten steel?
The name Corten is a shortening of Corrosion – Tensile, as the material has good corrosion resistance and tensile strength. This trademark name is officially written COR-TEN, however, and you may also hear it called weathering steel.
What is another name for corten steel?
Weathering steel, often called corten steel (or its trademarked name, COR-TEN) is a group of steel alloys that form a stable external layer of rust that eliminates the need for painting.
What is the best steel to use outdoors?
In summary, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, copper and brass, and Corten steel are among the best corrosion resistant metals for outdoor use. Each metal offers unique properties that make it suitable for specific applications, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
