1.What Are The Corten Steel water features?
The Corten steel Water feature refers to the waterscape decoration constructed of corten steel materials. Through the flow of water, fountains, waterfalls and other forms, it is integrated with the structure and shape of corten steel materials to present unique visual effects and artistic charm. It is not only a kind of decoration, but also a shaping of space and improvement of environment.
2.What Is corten/weathering Steel?
Definition and characteristics of corten steel:
Corten steel, also known as weather steel or weather-resistant steel, is an alloy steel with special weather-resistant properties. Its main characteristic is the formation of a dense oxide scale in the atmosphere, forming a self-healing protective layer, resulting in excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance.
Composition and structure of weathering steel:
Weathering steel is mainly composed of copper, chromium, nickel and other alloy elements. The copper content helps to form oxide scale and enhance the weather resistance and corrosion resistance of the steel. At the same time, weathering steel has a reasonable structural design, good strength and toughness, and is suitable for use in various outdoor environments.
Appearance characteristics of Corten steel:
Corten steel has unique appearance characteristics. The oxide scale formed on its surface shows a special reddish-brown or copper-green color. It has a natural and original beauty and blends with the outdoor environment to form a unique decorative effect.
3.Is Corten Steel Suitable For Water Features?
As a special alloy steel with excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance, corten steel can be used as a material for water features. Its unique aesthetic value and environmental adaptability bring new possibilities and development space to outdoor landscape design.
As a professional water feature manufacturer, we will continue to take advantage of the advantages of corten steel to create more creative and high-quality water feature works, provide customers with high-quality products and services, and jointly create beautiful and comfortable outdoor living spaces.

6.Production Process:
The production process includes 3 main steps: material preparation stage - production process - installation and debugging stage
Material selection: First of all, you need to choose high-quality corten steel materials. Standard corten steel plates are usually used. Its main components include copper, chromium, nickel and other elements, which have good weather resistance and corrosion resistance.
Material processing: The key to the material preparation stage is to process the selected weathering steel plates, including cutting, bending, sheet metal processing and other processes, to obtain various components and parts that meet the design requirements.
Preparation of accessories: During the material preparation stage, you also need to prepare various accessories and accessories, such as water pumps, water pipes, sprinklers, etc. These accessories will play an important role in the subsequent assembly process.
Structural design: Before making water features, detailed structural design is required to determine the form, size and structure of the water features to ensure that the final product meets the design requirements.
Welding assembly: According to the design drawings, the pre-processed weathering steel plates are welded and assembled into a basic structural frame with water features, and various accessories and accessories are installed at the same time.
Surface treatment: After completing the welding assembly, the surface of the water feature needs to be treated, usually using sandblasting, grinding, spraying and other processes to enhance the smoothness and aesthetics of its surface and protect it from oxidation.
Water system installation: After the water feature structure is completed, the water system needs to be installed, including installing water pumps, connecting water pipes, installing sprinklers, etc., to ensure smooth water flow and good water spray effects.
On-site installation: Transport the prepared corten steel water features to the site, install them on site, and position and fix them according to the design requirements to ensure a stable installation.
Water flow debugging: After the installation is completed, water flow debugging needs to be carried out to adjust the flow rate of the water pump and the angle of the nozzle to make the water flow effect meet the design requirements and maintain the beauty and stability of the water characteristics.
System inspection: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the installed water system to ensure that the connections of each component and accessories are firm, the water flow is smooth, there is no leakage or blockage, and the normal operation of the water features is ensured.
