Will the Corten Steel Continue Rust after Being Installed ?

The steel grade Corten is according to ASTE standard, and Corten steels are hot rolled productions.Corten A and Corten B are two kinds of corten steels we often see in our daily life.
To improve the anti-corrosive property, a few elements, such as Cu, P, Cr, Ni, is often added into the content of Corten Steel. With time passing by, Corten Steel itself can form a tight oxidizing layer which can slow down the process of corrosion. In this perspective, Corten Steel is better than many other structural steels in many applications.
Finally ,there comes a conclusion, the weathering process will begin as soon as the panels are installed, and it won’t stops until the protective coat is formed. The alloying elements in the steel, particularly copper, chromium, nickel produced insoluble compounds on the steel surface and interface with time passing by. Only in this way can prevent the corten steel from being oxidized. As a result. Thereby the corrosion of the corten steel largely decreases the rate of future corrosion. In a word, corten steel is an economical, recyclable material that can be widely used in many industries, like status, architecture, decoration, machinery industries ect.
