How Corten steel is made Corten steel, often referred to as weathered steel, is made from high quality steel with a special alloy that encourages surface rust. That rust does not damage the product in any way, but instead protects it from the elements. Corten steel comes from ‘cor’ –rosion resistance and ‘ten’ -sile strength inherent in steel. The coating on the steel ages over time and exposure to the elements. It takes around a year to fully develop and will produce runoff when you first install it. This runoff can stain so be mindful of where you install the Corten steel edging. Once the Corten steel has been outside for a few months, that runoff should stop and you should have a beautiful rust-coloured border.

Corten steel random facts Corten steel is a special combination of steel and alloy. That alloy adds an exterior coating to the material that rusts when exposed to the elements. That rust takes a while to develop and will stop once the tiny pores in the steel become full of rust. The end product is weather-resistant and has a much longer lifespan than bare rolled steel.
