Corten Steel

The unique look and naturally oxidizing finish of Corten Steel Tubing make it especially desirable for many architectural projects. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of weather – resistant steel piping is based on the chemical composition of the steel. Under the influence of weather conditions a dense protective patina layer composed of corrosion products is formed on the surface of the Corten Steel Panels. To use the benefits of the higher atmospheric corrosion resistance of weather – resistant steel tubing in comparison to unalloyed steel, it is necessary that design and execution of structures as well as the performance of maintenance works allow an impeded formation and regeneration of the protective rust layer.
