Often you can see a material in the landscape that has a surface of a rusty red substance that is very rough to the touch and has a very special texture. It does not look out of place, and even combines perfectly with plants. In the rough and delicate, cold and warm, soft and hard contrast combination, cohesion into a rich design context. Its name is weathering steel.
Principle of weathering steel:
Rusting in the natural climate causes the steel material to form a dense oxide layer between the rust and the substrate. The presence of this dense oxide film prevents atmospheric oxygen and water from penetrating into the steel substrate, thereby increasing resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
Features:
1. Rust and corrosion resistant, with 4-8 times higher atmospheric corrosion resistance than general steel.
2. The material can be recycled, very low carbon and environmental protection.
3. Corrosion-resistant steel parts to extend the life of thinning and reduce consumption, saving energy (weathering steel for carbon steel 2-8 times)
4. Green environmental protection Do not have to initial painting (in serious air pollution or non-specially wet areas); can reduce the use of fireproof paint and fireproof coating, thereby reducing pollution, shorten the duration, reduce costs and reduce maintenance, is a "green" sustainable development of the economy of class steel.
