Corten Laser Cut Screens

Corten laser cut screens are decorative panels made from weathering steel (Cortenstahl) using CNC laser cutting technology. These panels combine the natural rusted appearance of Corten steel with precise decorative cut-out patterns, creating a modern industrial architectural style.

Sie werden häufig verwendet:

• Gartenschirme
• Sichtschutzplatten für den Außenbereich
• Architektonische Fassaden
• Landscape decoration
• Interior and exterior wall partitions

The most important part of production is the laser cutting process, which allows complex decorative patterns to be manufactured with high precision.

Why Corten Steel Is Used for Laser Cut Screens

Corten steel is a special weather-resistant steel that forms a stable rust-like protective layer on its surface.

Hauptvorteile

• Natural rusted decorative appearance
• Excellent outdoor durability
• Starke atmosphärische Korrosionsbeständigkeit
• Lange Lebensdauer
• Geringer Wartungsaufwand

The rust layer protects the internal steel from further corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor architectural applications.

Main Manufacturing Process of Corten Laser Cut Screens

The production of corten laser cut screens combines steel fabrication and precision CNC cutting technology.

1. Raw Material Preparation

Production starts with weathering steel plates.

Zu den gängigen Noten gehören::

• Corten A
• Corten B
• ASTM A588
• A606 weathering steel

The steel plates are selected according to:

• Thickness requirements
• Strukturelle Stärke
• Decorative design complexity

Gemeinsamer Dickenbereich

2. CAD Pattern Design

Vor dem Schneiden, decorative patterns are designed using CAD software.

Common Design Styles

• Geometrische Muster
• Blumenmuster
• Tree and leaf designs
• Islamic decorative patterns
• Abstract architectural artwork
• Customized logo or text designs

The design stage is very important because it affects:

• Strukturelle Stabilität
• Visuelles Erscheinungsbild
• Cutting complexity

3. CNC-Laserschneidprozess

The core manufacturing step is CNC laser cutting.

Laser Cutting Features

• High precision cutting
• Smooth cutting edges
• Complex pattern capability
• Minimale Materialverformung
• Schnelle Produktionsgeschwindigkeit

The CNC laser machine follows the digital CAD drawing and cuts the corten steel plate automatically.

Advantages of Laser Cutting

• Very accurate pattern details
• Clean edge quality
• High repeatability
• Suitable for custom projects

Compared with plasma cutting, laser cutting provides:

• Finer decorative detail
• Better edge finish
• Smaller heat affected zone

4. Edge Grinding and Surface Cleaning

Nach dem Laserschneiden:

• Grate werden entfernt
• Scharfe Kanten werden poliert
• Surface residue is cleaned

Das verbessert sich:

• Safety
• Aussehen
• Installation quality

5. Bending and Structural Fabrication (Optional)

Some corten screens require additional fabrication:

• Frame welding
• Edge bending
• Mounting hole processing
• Verstärkungsstrukturen

This improves panel stability during installation.

6. Rusting and Weathering Process

One special step for corten screens is the weathering treatment.

Natürliche Verwitterung

The steel naturally develops a rust layer outdoors over time.

Accelerated Rusting Process

Some projects use artificial pre-rusting treatments:

• Water spraying
• Chemical oxidation treatment
• Controlled humidity exposure

This creates a uniform rust appearance before installation.

7. Protective Treatment (Optional)

Depending on project requirements:

• Clear protective coating may be applied
• Anti-stain sealing treatment may be added
• Indoor decorative panels may receive additional finishing

This helps stabilize the rust appearance.
