In order to solve the problem of material waste caused by atmospheric corrosion of steel, metal coating and coating maintenance costs are high, pollution of the environment, the difficulties of large component applications, and difficult to weld and other issues.
The Corten steel is not Stainless steel, It is also corroded as common carbon steel During initial period. Some time later, Cu, P and other trace elements enrichment, forming a layer of dense amorphous rust layer of tissue. This tissue could prevent further corrosion of steel to some extent. the rust layer will become stable, forming chocolate color on the steel surface, very solid with the matrix. To prevent further corrosion of the base metal.
Handling procedures without corrosion can not influence forming steady rust layer sequentially, which is environmental and promotion of plants growth. It can not influence limited materials grow with ambient plants, either, reflecting the sustainable design notion.( The red rust weathering resistant steel could change with time elapse. Its color is influenced by environment and weather massively. The rust layer’s color of weathering
resistant steel will turn crimson from bronzing if it is placed for a long time. Which could stem back the place history, record time moment and extend place vigor. Let the limited materials grow each other and reflect sustainable design notion. )
