What is weathering steel?

Self-Healing Protection: Weathering steel is designed to develop a protective “patina” – a rust-like layer that insulates the steel from the atmosphere and prevents further corrosion. This patina can even “self-heal” if scratched, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Aesthetics: In addition to its protective properties, patina has a unique, beautiful finish—a warm, dark brown textured appearance that ages gracefully with little maintenance.

Advantages of weathering steel:

Durability and Longevity: Corrosion-resistant patina allows for extremely long service life (up to 120 years) with minimal maintenance.

Strength and Reliability: Patina formation does not affect the mechanical properties of the steel, ensuring structural integrity over time.

Low Maintenance: The self-renewing nature of patina significantly reduces or eliminates the need for painting and ongoing maintenance.

Corten steel is particularly suitable for outdoor structures exposed to the elements, such as:

Bridge

Buildings

Catenary gantry (on railway line)
