    Default Cor-ten steel price and suppliers

    Hi,

    Does anyone know where to buy Cor-ten steel (self rusting) in either Sydney, Southern Highlands or Canberra?

    And how much it is worth? I'm looking for a 2400 x 1200 x 5 (?) sheet

    Thanks

    If all you are after is rapid rusting, just buy normal steel and give it a paintjob with hydrochloric acid - rust will set in very rapidly after that.

    Talk to container manufacturers - I think that's one of the materials that they use. Most steel suppliers should be able to get some for you but there is probably a minimum order involved and you probably don't want 10 tonnes of it.

    Self Rusting?
    Do you mean a weathering steel, (the centerpoint tower is made from this).
