Cor ten steel

If you don’t recognise the name, you may recognise the material by this picture. [It's not the timber, the door or the windows.]No? Read on.What is COR-TEN®?Put simply, it is a type of steel. More specifically it is a high strength, low alloy structural steel created by United States Steel in 1930 to resist abrasion and corrosion. The brand name is inspired by its two key properties; corrosion resistance and tensile strength.Developed by mixing a particular combination of steel and alloying…

Corten Steel (sometimes known as weathered steel) is a group of steel alloys that are often used in outdoor construction. Corten Steel was designed to eliminate the need for painting and if left outside, exposed to the elements, they will develop a rusted appearance in just a few months.

“Cor-ten Steel”, a weathering steel by Kasso are known as corrosion resistant steels. It is versatile, durable and eco-friendly façade solution.

There is no question that it is nice to look at, but this rust never sleeps.

In 1933, the United States created and patented the first corten weathering steel. Steel sold under the trade name Cor-Ten®, which was so named because of its high tensile strength and low corrosion rate.

Uniqueness and elegance are the characteristics that make this metal unmistakable. It resists corrosion from atmospheric conditions and has a high mechanical resistance which makes it a fascinating and timeless material.
