What is COR-TEN\u00ae and SSAB Weathering steel?<\/strong><\/p>\n COR-TEN\u00ae is high strength, structural steel with exceptional weathering resistance. The chemical composition of the steel allows for the creation of a layer of rust that coats a product \u00a0without altering the mechanical characteristics of the steel. This rust layer, not only protects steel products against the elements but also delivers a unique finish that stops most people in their tracks.\u00a0 What\u2019s more, it\u2019s also more environmentally-friendly than traditional steel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n As brand new, COR-TEN\u00ae looks\u00a0 grey \u00a0as \u00a0hot-rolled traditional steel. The surface is originally reddish-brown (resembles the colour of rusting), which becomes darker within time<\/p>\n \u00a0There are two options how to season the surface: normal rust process or quick \u00a0version.<\/u><\/p>\n Normal process<\/strong>\u00a0is simple: leave your COR-TEN\u00ae product outside, rain and humidity makes it rust. We have cleaned\u00a0 surfaces by solvent- means the metal surface is ready to create rust. Depends on circumstances rust appears in 1-3 weeks.<\/p>\n Quick process\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/u>is to spray salt suspension on the metal surfaces. You have to repeat this 5-6 times. Suspension must be weak, about one teaspoon of salt per one litre of water.\u00a0 Dissolve salt in warm water and spary. No other treatment needed, rain washes salt off.<\/p>\n When the Cor-Ten steel gets wet and the dries out, the rust layer becomes a little thicker, while the underlying solid steel becomes thinner.<\/p>\n COR-TEN\u00ae steel and stains: it does stain first year when it creates rust layer. When you put COR-TEN\u00ae steel product on a wooden terrace it stains the area below the product. When move the product you can clean this area with metal brush. When it comes to stone areas \u00a0some stones absorbe all stains and COR-TEN\u00ae steel may give brown color\u00a0 to stones. After first year COR-TEN\u00ae stains very few.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n COR-TEN\u00aesteel \u00a0products can hold \u00a0outside 365 days a year. No storaging needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You received GrillSymbol or Petteri Wiimaa product and it does not look like on the picture?
