Corten steel is a group of combined steel alloys that exhibit a high degree of corrosion resistance and tensile strength.
It was developed and introduced in the 1930s by the U.S. Steel Corporation (USS) to assist in the development of railroad coal wagons.
While typically written as corten, the official trademark name is COR-TEN, which refers to its specific qualities and properties, namely:
COR: Corrosion-Resistance
TEN: Tensile Strength
The rusting or weathering process of Corten steel is what makes it special. It does not prevent rusting, but it forms rust only on its outer surface for protection. The presence of chromium, copper, and nickel improves the Corten steel's weather resistance, allowing the development of a desirable patina.
