Corten steel is a weather resistant steel which could more accurately be termed as an "Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steel". It is a copper chromium alloy steel—this alloy displays a greater level of resistance to atmospheric weathering when compared to other unalloyed steels.
It's chemical composition promotes the early formation of an adhering protective layer of rust when exposed to the elements.

Aesthetically pleasing to the eye, corten steel has become popular with many high profile architects and has been specified and used in a variety of applications in including building fascias, wall cladding, architectural sculptures and bridges.
The protective layer of corten steel constantly develops and regenerates over time, reacting to the pollutants in the atmosphere. Architectural wall cladding can be supplied 0.7 mm and 1.00 mm base metal thickness as consideration should be made with regard to the thicknesses used especially when the material is utilized for structural rather than solely decorative purposes.
