Corten Steel in Metal Spinning
Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a high-strength, high-temperature alloy that is renowned for its unique combination of corrosion resistance and tensile strength. Originally developed for railroad coal wagons, Corten steel has since become a popular choice in architecture, construction, and industrial applications due to its durability and distinctive appearance.

Made in the USA since 1981.
Why Choose Corten Steel?
Corten steel stands out due to its ability to naturally form a protective rust layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. This patina not only protects the steel from further corrosion, but also gives it a rugged, aesthetically pleasing appearance. The alloy is primarily composed of copper, chromium, and nickel, which work together to create a strong and visually striking material. Corten steel is an ideal choice for outdoor projects where both durability and low maintenance are essential.
Key Characteristics of Corten Steel
Corten steel offers several advantages that make it a preferred material across industries:
Corrosion Resistance
The formation of a protective rust layer prevents further corrosion, making Corten steel highly durable in outdoor environments.
High Tensile Strength
Corten steel retains its strength even in harsh conditions, making it suitable for load-bearing structures.
Minimal Maintenance
Once the protective rust layer forms, Corten steel requires little to no maintenance, reducing long-term costs.
Aesthetic Appeal
The natural rust finish gives Corten steel a unique, rustic look that is popular in architectural and design projects.
Workability
Corten steel can be easily cut, shaped, and welded, offering flexibility in design and application.
