Corten Laser Cut Screens

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

它们广泛用于:

• Garden screens
• 户外隐私板
• 建筑立面
• 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.

主要优势

• Natural rusted decorative appearance
• Excellent outdoor durability
• 耐大气腐蚀性强
• 使用寿命长
• Low maintenance requirements

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.

常见等级包括:

• 耐候钢A
• 耐候钢 B
• ASTM A588
• A606 weathering steel

The steel plates are selected according to:

• Thickness requirements
• 结构强度
• Decorative design complexity

常用厚度范围

2. CAD Pattern Design

切割前, 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:

• 结构稳定性
• 视觉外观
• Cutting complexity

3. 数控激光切割工艺

The core manufacturing step is CNC laser cutting.

Laser Cutting Features

• 高精度切割
• Smooth cutting edges
• Complex pattern capability
• 材料变形最小
• 生产速度快

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

激光切割后:

• 毛刺被去除
• 锋利的边缘经过抛光处理
• Surface residue is cleaned

这改善了:

• Safety
• 外貌
• Installation quality

5. Bending and Structural Fabrication (选修的)

Some corten screens require additional fabrication:

• Frame welding
• Edge bending
• Mounting hole processing
• 加固结构

This improves panel stability during installation.

6. Rusting and Weathering Process

One special step for corten screens is the weathering treatment.

自然风化

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 (选修的)

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.
