Can you bend Corten steel?
Yes I have used Cor-Ten. It works well for your application, but it is stiff and more difficult to bend. Other short comings like poor fatigue resistance are not applicable in your app. That sounds good, bending is not needed in this range, just cut, clean and weld.Click to see full answer.

Keeping this in consideration, how long will Corten steel last?The layer protecting the surface develops and regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of the weather. This process usually stabilises after 2-3 years and corrosion almost ceases completely, giving shipping containers made of Cor-Ten steel a lifespan of 15 years.Secondly, can you weld Corten steel to mild steel? When welding Corten the precautions are similar to mild steel except that you may need a special filler material to produce the weathering steel weld. If the plate is 10mm thick or less, and the weld is a single pass (eg a fillet weld), you can use an E7018 or SG2 MIG wire. Beside above, how do you Corten steel? Corten Steel is created by mixing up a particular combination of steels and alloys. It is this combination that creates the easy rusting properties and gives Corten Steel its recognisable look. It is produced in a sheet form which is usually only ¼ inch thick.How thick is Corten steel?Select A Thickness3/16″ Thickness1/4″ Thickness5/16″ Thickness3/8″ Thickness1/2″ Thickness5/8″ Thickness3/4″ Thickness1″ Thickness1-1/8″ Thickness1-1/4″ Thickness1-3/8″ Thickness1-1/2″ Thickness1-3/4″ Thickness2″ ThicknessOther (Please explain below.)
