I. Surface Treatment Methods of Corten Steel Curtain Wall

 

• Natural rusting of metal wall panel: Let the metal curtain wall rust by itself in the natural environment to form a dense oxide protective film. This method can best reflect the natural beauty of weathering steel, but the rusting time is longer.
• Artificial rusting of corten exterior wall cladding: Use chemical or electrochemical methods to accelerate the rusting process of rusted steel curtain wall, which can shorten the construction period and make the curtain wall more self-heating.
• Corten steel siding coating treatment: Apply a protective layer on the surface of weathering steel, such as paint, coating, etc., to slow down the rusting speed and increase color changes.

 

II. Specifications and Dimensions of Corten Metal Cladding

The specifications and dimensions of weathering steel exterior wall panels are directly related to the beauty of the building's appearance and the convenience of construction. The following will introduce the specifications, dimensions and measurement methods of weathering steel exterior wall panels in detail.
 

1. Standard Specifications for Corten Steel Exterior Wall Panels

Although weathering steel exterior wall panels and weathering steel roof panels (corrugated panels) are different in application scenarios, they are both weathering steel sheets in terms of material. The main difference lies in thickness and shape.

a. Corrugated panels:
 

• Thickness: Usually between 0.5mm-0.8mm. The thinner thickness makes it easier to bend into a corrugated shape and reduce the weight of the building.
• 2. Application: Mainly used for covering large areas such as roofs and walls.

b. Curtain wall panels:

• Thickness: Wide range, from 0.5mm to 2.0mm. Thicker curtain wall panels have better rigidity and stability.
• Width: Generally between 200mm-1000mm.
• Application: Mainly used for decoration of building exterior walls, which plays a role in beautification and protection of buildings.

2. Customized Specifications of Corten Metal Panels

In addition to standard specifications, Corten metal panels can also be customized according to project requirements. For example, for some special-shaped buildings or special designs, customized weathering steel panels are required to meet the requirements. Customized specifications can be adjusted in terms of thickness, width, length, shape, etc.

III. Hot Selling Corten Metal Cladding in 2024  

In 2024, Corten metal cladding panels have set off a wave in the field of architectural decoration with their unique charm and outstanding performance.
 

Features and Performance of Corten Metal Panels

 

• Strong corrosion resistance: The oxide layer of Corten steel can effectively resist atmospheric corrosion and does not require frequent maintenance.
• Good aesthetics: The unique rust appearance adds a natural and rugged beauty to the building.
• Strong plasticity: Corten steel plates can be processed into various shapes to meet different design needs.
• Good environmental protection: The rust process of Corten steel is naturally formed and does not produce harmful substances.

 

Application Field of Corten Metal Siding

 

• Building exterior walls: Corten metal siding can be used to decorate the exterior walls of buildings to create a unique industrial style or modern minimalist style.
• Interior decoration: Weathering steel cladding can be used for indoor walls, ceilings, partitions, etc. to increase the layering of space.
• Landscape design: Corten metal panels can be used to make landscape sketches, sculptures, etc., and integrate with the natural environment.

 

Uniqueness and Design Innovation of Corten Metal Siding

 

• Corten Metal Siding color diversity: With the advancement of technology, the color of Corten steel has become more diverse. In addition to the traditional rust red, it can also present a variety of tones such as gray and black.
• Rich texture: The surface texture of Corten metal panels is rich and varied, which can simulate the texture of rocks, bark and other natural things to increase the texture of the building.
• Unique shape: Designers create a variety of unique shapes through cutting, bending, welding and other processes of Corten metal siding to meet the needs of different architectural styles.
• Combination with other materials: Corten metal siding can be combined with a variety of materials such as wood, glass, stone, etc. to create rich visual effects.

 

IV. Production technology of weathering steel exterior wall panels

The production process of weathering steel exterior wall panels is a complex process involving multiple links, from the selection of raw materials to the final product leaving the factory, each link has an important impact on the quality of the product.
 

Cold Rolling and Hot Rolling Process

The production of Weathering steel cladding mainly adopts two processes: cold rolling and hot rolling.
 

• Cold rolling process: Cold rolling is to roll the steel billet at room temperature. Through repeated rolling and annealing, the thickness of the steel plate is reduced, the dimensional accuracy is improved, and the surface finish is good. Cold-rolled weathering steel plate has high strength, hardness and plasticity, and is often used for products requiring high precision.
• Hot rolling process: Hot rolling is to roll the steel billet at high temperature. Through plastic deformation and recrystallization, the organizational structure of the steel is improved, and its strength and toughness are improved. Hot-rolled Weathering steel cladding has a large thickness and a high surface roughness, and is often used to make structural parts.

The impact of different processes on the performance of siding:
 

• Cold rolled weathering steel plate: High dimensional accuracy, smooth surface, suitable for making high-end Corten metal cladding.
• Hot-rolled weathering steel plate: It has large thickness and high strength, and is suitable for making large-area weathering steel exterior wall panels.
