The abstract sculptures of human figures are made of weathering steel. The corten steel figure statues show the big shapes of four people. Some are looking up to the sky, and some are looking down to search. The sculptures are put in the desert. They make a 3D artistic beauty with the blue sky, white clouds and yellow sand. They show the author’s feelings about humanity.
The material for the abstract human figure sculptures of corten steel comes from the corrosion of stainless steel. Corten steel (weathering steel), which means steel resistant to atmospheric corrosion, is a series of low-alloy steel between ordinary steel and stainless steel.
Corten steel is made of ordinary carbon steel with a small amount of corrosion-resistant elements like copper and nickel added. It has the features of strong toughness, plasticity, forming, welding and cutting, abrasion, high temperature resistance, and anti-fatigue of high-quality steel.
Its weather resistance is 2 to 8 times that of ordinary carbon steel, and its coating property is 1.5 to 10 times that of ordinary carbon steel.
