What is Corten steel?
Corten steel is known as weatherproof steel and the official name of this steel is COR-TEN steel. In the base, Corten steel consists of iron, after which phosphorus, copper, nickel, chromium and silicon have been added. Corten steel is characterized not only by the rust color but also by the 100% recyclable material and the low maintenance required for a Corten steel product. A disadvantage of Corten steel is that this steel can deliver on, for example, underlying tiles. Use a bottom plate to prevent this.
Corten steel: rust process
When you buy a Corten steel fire dish, it is possible that the Corten steel is not supplied directly with a rust look. You may initially think that you have received the wrong item. However, this is not the case! When you put the fire bowl outside, a first corosion layer will quickly form due to humidity and / or rain. Often the manufacturer already supplies the fire bowls with a recognizable corosion layer, but it also happens that it is still uniform steel and the first "rust formation" has yet to occur. Don't worry, this is happening very quickly.
