To create Corten Steel effects, we can divide them into three main categories based on different expressions: colors, shapes and patterns. Next, let's view them one by one:

How to make color effects for Corten steel:
For color effects: we can roughly classify them into light yellow, orange-red, rust-red, brown-red, dark brown-red, so let's see how to get them?
Generally, it takes 6-9 months to form the light yellow color effect of Corten steel, but some customers want to get this effect as soon as possible, so in order to meet the requirements of customers, our company invented a surface treatment method for Corten steel, which can shorten the time and control the time within one week, and don't worry, this method won't damage the surface and internal quality of Corten steel. Our factory's method just accelerates the rusting process by physical means.
Generally, it also takes a longer time for the orange color effect of corten steel, which is gradually changed from light yellow color. It may take up to six months of natural time. If you want to get this color faster, our company can control the time within 7 days by the same method mentioned above.

Other colors have the same effect, the darker the color, the longer it takes.
Over time, the color will deepen, from light yellow to dark reddish brown. However, some customers want the color to be fixed, e.g. light yellow all the time. To solve this problem, Troyk has developed a method to fix the surface color, which does not damage any raw material properties and surface quality, but also serves to protect and maintain the surface of corten steel. It also prevents rust spots from falling off and does not pollute the environment with rust water in rainy or humid climatic conditions.
How to create Colden steel shape effects:
Most shapes can be created from Corten steel due to the fact that the raw material of Corten steel has the best ductility, toughness, easy weldability, good formability and resistance to high temperature creep. Therefore, when we want to create a Corten steel shape effect, we can use cutting, welding, bending, rolling, engraving, drilling, soldering ...... and other methods. In my opinion, the shape effect of corten steel is just impossible to correct, not impossible to create.

How to create corten steel pattern effects:
Now, Gnee Factory creates corten steel pattern effects by surface texturing patterns and engraving any kind of patterns (such as flowers, animals, plants, landscapes, models, etc.). To create a corten steel pattern effect, first examine your surroundings to get a feel for the feeling you want to convey. Then describe which texture suits you better? Next, we will create some samples of the corten steel pattern textures for you to choose from. Until you are satisfied. Finally, we produce in large quantities.
In the same Corten Steel Texture Pattern way, create a pattern you like by engraving and then start production, let's see some results below:
