Weathering steel

Weathering steel, often called "Corten," is a special type of steel designed to resist rust and corrosion when exposed to weather. Unlike regular steel, it develops a stable, protective layer of rust that shields it from further deterioration. This process allows the steel to withstand the elements without needing paint or coating, making it ideal for architectural features, bridges, and outdoor sculptures. Its unique weathering process not only improves durability but also gives it a distinctive, attractive rusty appearance over time.
