Corten steel

Corten Steel is a type of steel with a very characteristic orange appearance.

The chemical composition of corten steel allows its oxidation to have specific characteristics that protect the pieces made with this material from corrosion caused by being exposed to the weather, ensuring that its mechanical characteristics are not lost and giving it a very special appearance. characteristic that is highly appreciated by architects and sculptors in public works.

Cor-ten Steel (or commonly called Corten Steel) has a high content of copper, chromium and nickel that makes it acquire a characteristic reddish orange color and that make the surface oxide layer that forms in non-stainless steels have special characteristics, which makes this surface oxide layer have a self-protective action of the oxide inside.
