Weathering steel and corten steel are often used interchangeably; they are essentially the same material with high strength and corrosion resistance. Weathering steel is an ideal material for outdoor construction and landscaping. For aesthetic purposes, corten steel takes on a patina (rust) that provides a protective layer against corrosion and atmospheric elements. The appeal of corten steel includes the use of steel in a range of applications without the need for initial coating and maintenance.
Steel garden ornaments are usually made of mild steel because it is easy to cut and therefore can have more complex details. Simply put, steel is not designed for elements that exist outside, and when it starts to rust, it rusts away quickly. As for why weathering steel is more durable as a garden edge, the simple difference is that corten steel is designed to gain strength when exposed to the atmosphere. The surface of the steel rusts, forming a protective layer. Corten steel has anti-rust properties, and its service life can reach decades to more than 100 years.
