Schermi tagliati al laser Corten

Corten laser cut screens are decorative panels made from weathering steel (Acciaio Corten) 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.

They are widely used in:

• Schermi da giardino
• Pannelli per la privacy all'aperto
• Architectural facades
• 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.

Main Advantages

• Natural rusted decorative appearance
• Excellent outdoor durability
• Strong atmospheric corrosion resistance
• Lunga durata
• Bassi requisiti di manutenzione

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.

I voti comuni includono:

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

The steel plates are selected according to:

• Thickness requirements
• Resistenza strutturale
• Decorative design complexity

Intervallo di spessore comune

2. CAD Pattern Design

Before cutting, decorative patterns are designed using CAD software.

Common Design Styles

• Geometric patterns
• Floral patterns
• Tree and leaf designs
• Islamic decorative patterns
• Abstract architectural artwork
• Customized logo or text designs

The design stage is very important because it affects:

• Structural stability
• Visual appearance
• Cutting complexity

3. CNC Laser Cutting Process

The core manufacturing step is CNC laser cutting.

Laser Cutting Features

• Taglio ad alta precisione
• Smooth cutting edges
• Complex pattern capability
• Minimal material deformation
• Fast production speed

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

After laser cutting:

• Burrs are removed
• Sharp edges are polished
• Surface residue is cleaned

This improves:

• Safety
• Aspetto
• Installation quality

5. Bending and Structural Fabrication (Optional)

Some corten screens require additional fabrication:

• Frame welding
• Edge bending
• Mounting hole processing
• Reinforcement structures

This improves panel stability during installation.

6. Rusting and Weathering Process

One special step for corten screens is the weathering treatment.

Natural Weathering

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.
