Corten steel, also called Cor-Ten steel, is a weathering steel that resists corrosion but is not rust-proof. This steel alloy is widely used in landscaping and other outdoor applications because it forms a protective layer of rust after approximately six months of exposure to moisture and oxygen. Since the rust layer (patina) protects the steel from further corrosion, it does not require painting or additional weatherproofing.

Corten Steel is A Low Maintenance Solution for Outdoor Applications
There are several benefits to using weathering steel sheets and plates. The natural corrosion resistance of Corten steel gives it a long lifecycle, creating a low-maintenance solution for a variety of uses. Corten steel plates and sheets have high strength properties, which is why the metal sheets are used for structural applications including bridges, building facades, and other large structures. Other industrial applications for weathering steel plates include rail cars, industrial shipping and storage containers, and other transportation uses.
Because of its corrosion- resistant properties, weathering steel is also widely used by architects and artists, Artists and sculptors use Corten steel because the color of the protective rust layer continues to deepen with weather exposure, which many find visually appealing.
Corten steel plates are a low cost, low maintenance solution for structural and decorative applications.
Overall benefits of using weathering steel sheets include:
Provides natural corrosion resistance
Requires no paint or weatherproofing
Exhibits high strength for heavy or load bearing structures
Requires minimal maintenance
Creates a distinctive, artistic finish
