Weathering steel, also known as Corton steel, commonly used in
corten steel landscape. It's special is that when exposed to nature, over time, the surface will form a protective layer against corrosion, without painting protection, and the life of the material is more than 80 years.
Weathering steel is mainly used for steel structures such as railways, vehicles, bridges, towers and other long-term exposure to the atmosphere. Its special feature is that it is exposed to the natural environment, and with the action of air and rain, the surface of the steel will automatically form a
corrosion-resistant protective layer.
In the early 20th century, some avant-garde foreign artists used steel for sculpture.As steel corrosion is a natural state of the material itself, it is in line with the principle of authenticity of artistic expression.
Over time, steel has become one of the materials for modern landscape design.
In different design contexts, rusty steel is often labeled with design terms such as "synonym of industrial age", "visual expression of time concept" and "label of technology and cultural creativity", and is widely used.
