Everything You Need to Know About Welding Corten Steel

What Is Corten Steel Welding? -------------------- Weathering steel is Corten Steel. Rusty surfaces protect them from adverse weather conditions and corrosion when exposed to the weather. The properties of corten steel include high strength, toughness, and ductility.

Corten Steel Welding ------------ While welding Corten steel can be tricky, with the right preparation, it can be done successfully.With thick plates, the first step is to preheat the metal. This will prevent any warping or cracking during welding.
