What is Corten Steel?
Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a group of steel alloys developed to form a stable rust-like appearance after exposure to weather. The name “Corten” is derived from its two main properties: corrosion resistance and tensile strength. Unlike regular steel, which can degrade over time due to rust, Corten steel forms a protective layer of rust that prevents further corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
