I. What is Corten Steel and Why Choose it for Garden Screens?
Corten steel is a special alloy steel, through the addition of copper, chromium, nickel and other elements, in contact with air and moisture, the surface will form a dense and stable layer of rust. This layer of rust color is not ordinary rust, but a natural protective barrier that effectively prevents further corrosion of the steel.
Initial changes: After exposure to the outdoors, weathering steel screens immediately begin to oxidize, with color changes visible within a few days.
Formation of signature rust color: within 3-6 months, a unique orange-brown rust layer gradually appears.
is fully stabilized: after about 2-3 years, the rust layer is fully cured and optimal protection is achieved.
