Corten Steel
All types laser cut – Corten, Galvanised, Zintec, Tool Steel
We don’t just cut standard mild steel. We do a lot of work for companies that need something a little different. For example we cut a lot of corten (the steel that surface rusts then stops), particularly for sculpture and architecture. We also cut a lot of galvanised steel and zintec – everything from signs to litter bins are cut in this material. Durbar (checker plate) is not a problem and we also cut tool steel – the high carbon content results in a really good cut edge
| Max. part size | 3000x1500mm |
| Min. part size | Very Small – depends on material thickness |
| Max. thickness | 20mm |
| Min. Thickness | <0.5mm |
| Min. Detail | Detail can be less than the material thickness but caution is advised as the thickness increases |
| Cutting Tolerance | Less Than 3mm – +/-0.15mm 3-6mm – +/-0.2mm 8-12mm – +/-0.25mm >12mm – +/-0.5mm |
| Effects of Thermal Cutting | The cut edge can become hard – the higher the carbon content the harder the cut edge |
| Common Grades | corten / durbar / galvanised / zintec / tool steel |

| Applications | Sheet Metalwork / General Fabrication / Structural / Architectural / OEM / Tools / Models / Sculpture / Art – the list really does go on! |
