Cor-ten steel tube
I'm a steel sculptor working on outdoor pieces. I'm trying to get hold of some Cor-ten steel in tube form, as it forms a protective layer of rust and does not corrode completely, even after years of being outside. Does anyone know where I can get this from?

Cor-Ten was made by British Steel before they became known as Corus. Try a steel stockholder as a source.

Hi, Amit. Cor 10 is a proprietary, not a standards-based composition, so the only source for that info is the manufacturer.
