(You could pass your fire ring down to the next generation!) Corten Steel has self-healing properties. If the fire ring becomes scratched or rusty, it can halt further corrosion. Hence, the rustic patina serves as a protective coating in itself! Absolutely ZERO maintenance steel – painting it would only add to the aesthetic of your backyard. Again, that rust is a protective layer. Corten Steel boasts impressive durability, with a rust rate 25 times slower than that of carbon (a.k.a. mild) steel. Therefore, the reduced rusting pace ensures that Corten Steel avoids the rusty run-off often associated with carbon steel, particularly when accelerating the rusting process. Additionally, the full rusting of a Corten Steel ring typically takes 2-6 years. You can use an accelerator (like salt water spray) to speed up the process. Over the lifetime of the corten steel, it will change from an orange-brown to a darker golden brown. It is made by US Steel, with its corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA.
