Corten Steel Sculpture

What's the corten steel sculpture?

Corten steel, also know as weathering steel, is a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting and form a stable rust-like appearance after several years’ exposure to weather. The steel forms a protective layer on its surface under the influence of the weather, which inhibits deeper penetration of corrosion.

Corten steel has becom popular as a material for sculptures because of its unique rustic appearance and the longevity of the material. When used as  a sculpture material, it gives the piece a vibrant, organic, and evolving appearance as the surface rust deepens and changes over time. The protective rust layer makes the steel resistant to further corrosion, ensuring the sculpture’s durability.

Many modern and contemporary artists and architects have made use of corten steel to create outdoor installations and sculpture. These works often blend seamlessly with their natural or urban surroundings due to the material’s earthy, oxidized finish.
