Will the corten steel affect the water quality?

One general concern for people using corten water feature is whether the natural rust process of steel can affect the water quality of the waterscape. Fortunately, the unique characteristics of Cotton Steel make it a reliable choice for such applications. Corten steel it does rust, but the rust it forms is a dense copper rust that attaches tightly to steel surfaces. Unlike ordinary steel, the rust on corten steel is not easily peeled off and does it pollute the water in the facility. This is mainly because the rust of corten steel has a high stability and can form a protective layer to prevent deeper corrosion. As copper rust forms and stabilizes, it will provide a strong protective layer, ensuring that the water quality is not affected.

Can I keep an ornamental fishin the corten water feature?
 

There is no denying the charm of ornamental fish swimming beautifully in the water features of the garden. However, the health problem of the ornamental fish needs to be considered when using the corten waterscape. These considerations concern water quality and maintenance of potential risks to fish. As is well known, ornamental fish have relatively high requirements for water quality.corten steel Although the rust process has been stable, it is unlikely to seep out a large amount of iron, but it may bring substances into the water, thus affecting the water quality. This effect on water chemistry may pose potential risks to the health of fish, especially in sensitive aquatic environments. In addition, corten steel facilities may require regular maintenance, including cleaning and rust protection treatment. Such maintenance may damage the aquatic environment and cause stress on fish. Given these factors, raising ornamental fish in corten steel water feature is generally not recommended. Instead, it is recommended to select materials specifically designed for fish ponds or aquatic environments to ensure fish health and water quality protection.

How to distinguish between real corten steel and ordinary steel?

It is difficult to distinguish between real corten steel and ordinary steel, especially before the steel surface rusts. In the early stages of rust, it is often difficult to distinguish them from the appearance alone. However, as rust develops, certain characteristics become apparent. True corten steel develop thick and dense rust spots during the early and middle stages of rust. These rust spots are tightly attached to the steel to form a protective layer. Because the rust spot is firmly attached, trying to remove rust with hand rubbing is almost futile. On the other hand, ordinary steel plates will appear more rust spots in the early and middle stages of rust, and the rust is thinner and less dense. Rust is more likely to peel or fall off, and even large pieces of rust may fall completely. When the rust develops to the middle and late stage, the real corten steel will remain clear and dense rust spots, and the rust core layer will remain tightly attached. By contrast, ordinary steel continues to shed more rust, and the rust spots may become bigger and thinner, potentially leading to more severe rust.

Is the corten steel easier to rust in the water? Why?

The lifespan of a corten steel water feature is not inherently shorter than its use on land; rather, it can be remarkably prolonged when specific considerations are taken into account. Properly designed water features, with well-engineered drainage systems and adequate ventilation, can substantially augment the durability and corrosion resistance of corten steel. When exposed to water, the steel's protective patina undergoes an accelerated transformation, manifesting a rich copper-green hue on its surface. This patina is not merely an aesthetic feature but serves as a formidable shield against further corrosion, effectively extending the service life of the corten steel water feature.

In conjunction with a well-thought-out design, the key to ensuring the longevity of a corten steel water feature lies in diligent maintenance. Routine cleaning and inspections to eliminate any potential debris buildup, facilitate proper water circulation, and avoid stagnation become imperative. This attentive care, alongside the material's inherent properties, empowers corten steel waterscapes to endure the test of time, remaining not only structurally sound but also aesthetically captivating for many years to come.
