Imatengedwa ngati "chamoyo" chifukwa cha kukhwima kwake kwapadera/makutidwe ndi okosijeni. Mithunzi ndi malankhulidwe amasintha pakapita nthawi, malingana ndi mawonekedwe a chinthucho, komwe amayikidwa, ndi nyengo ya nyengo yomwe mankhwalawa adutsa. Nthawi yokhazikika kuchokera ku okosijeni mpaka kukhwima nthawi zambiri ndi miyezi 12-18. Kuwonongeka kwa m'deralo sikungalowetse zinthuzo, kotero kuti chitsulocho chimapanga chitetezo chachilengedwe chachilengedwe.

Chitsulo cha Corten ndi chitsulo cha aloyi chomwe chili ndi zinthu zitatu zazikulu za nickel, mkuwa ndi chromium, ndipo nthawi zambiri zimakhala ndi mpweya wochepera 0.3% polemera. Mtundu wake wonyezimira wa lalanje umakhala makamaka chifukwa cha mkuwa, womwe pakapita nthawi umakutidwa ndi mkuwa wobiriwira woteteza kuti asawonongeke.

Kutchuka kwa Corten kungakhale chifukwa cha mphamvu zake, kulimba, kuchitapo kanthu, ndi kukopa kokongola.Corten Steel ili ndi ubwino wambiri, kuphatikizapo kukonza ndi moyo wautumiki. Kuphatikiza pa mphamvu zake zambiri, chitsulo cha korten ndi chitsulo chochepa kwambiri chokonza. Chifukwa Coreten Kukana zowononga mvula, chipale chofewa, ayezi, chifunga, ndi zinthu zina zanyengo popanga zokutira zofiirira zakuda za oxidizing pazitsulo, potero zimalepheretsa kulowa mkati ndikuchotsa kufunikira kwa utoto ndi kukonza dzimbiri kwazaka zambiri. Mwachidule, dzimbiri zachitsulo, ndi dzimbiri zimapanga zokutira zotetezera

Chitsulo cha Corten chimalimbana ndi kuwonongeka kwa mvula, chipale chofewa, ayezi, chifunga, ndi nyengo zina popanga zokutira zobiriwira zakuda pazitsulo. Chitsulo cha Corten ndi mtundu wachitsulo chomwe chili ndi phosphorous, mkuwa, chromium, faifi tambala ndi molybdenum. Ma alloy awa amathandizira kuti mpweya usavutike ndi dzimbiri pakupanga chitsulo choteteza pamwamba pake.

Chitsulo cha Corten sichichita dzimbiri. Chifukwa cha kapangidwe kake ka mankhwala, imawonetsa kukana kwambiri kumlengalenga kuposa chitsulo chochepa. Pamwamba pa chitsulocho padzakhala dzimbiri, n’kupanga nsanjika yotetezera imene timaitcha "patina."

Chitsulo cha Corten ndi banja lazitsulo zofatsa zomwe zimakhala ndi zinthu zina zowonjezera zosakanikirana ndi maatomu a carbon ndi iron. Koma ma alloying awa amapatsa chitsulo chanyengo kuti chikhale cholimba komanso kukana dzimbiri kuposa momwe chitsulo chocheperako chimakhalira. Chifukwa chake, chitsulo cha corten nthawi zambiri chimagwiritsidwa ntchito panja kapena m'malo omwe zitsulo wamba zimachita dzimbiri.
