New Design Rusty Corten Steel Metal Camping Fire Pit

Corten and Weathering Steel are materials heavily used in the architectural industry, but there is widespread lack of understanding around these steel alloys. In fact, there is confusion about the names themselves – Corten is simply a generic trademarked name of Weathering Steel, so they often are used interchangeably and do refer to the same material.The rust-like patina was a by-product, rather than a intended facet, of this discovery. Although Corten is still used for industrial purposes (construction of containers being a great example) it has become most well-known for its incorporation in buildings and public space. It is particularly beloved by architects, who admire the uniqueness of each section after the oxidation process is complete, and the natural evolution which renders conventional environmentally harmful maintenance, such as painting, unnecessary.
