The definition of the Corten steel is the steel which can stand the air corrosion. It is kind of low alloy steel between normal steel and the stainless steel. With the strong corrosion resistance, Corten steel is the ideal material for outdoor laser cut screens.

With the Copper, Chrome and Nickle added in, the Corten steel has excellent mechanical property and corrosion resistance, weather ability is 2 to 8 times as carbon steel. There are two main categories, Corten A and Corten B, it is the representative steel of American Cu-P series steel.

Not only the Corten steel can stand the corrosion, but also we use its feature to do the decoration. We rust it on surface and take the rusting layer for a kind decoration. The color of the rust on Corten is very different from others; it’s darker than the rust on carbon steel, which looks classical. The more important is the rust is absorbed on surface firmly and will not permeate into the inside. So the rust will leave on the surface but no more steel will get rusted.

Normally the laser cut screens made of Corten steel is installed in the garden, mixed with the plants or hung on the wall. As far as we know that the clients from Australia is crazy about Corten steel, they used a lot of Corten steel to do the screens and even the outwall of Australia pavilion in 2010 Expo is made of Corten steel.
