Stainless steel objects: Manufacture and care

The process of making precious rust was originally developed in construction technology. It is used for the oxidative formation of a protective layer to protect metal-containing surfaces from corrosion. The technique used is called "burnishing" because the metal is browned by the oxidation process. The metal parts to be treated are immersed in large vats of alkaline or acidic solutions. During the subsequent drying process, the desired rust-brown protective layer is formed. The more often this process is repeated, the thicker and more irregular the precious rust becomes.

Garden decoration in precious rust is suitable for outdoor use all year-round and is absolutely weatherproof. Rain and snow can not harm the rust. Over the years, the effects of weathering even enhance the antique effect and make the design objects look even more interesting. If you want to help the natural oxidation process, you can spray your rust-look garden decoration with a salt solution from time to time. Decorative objects made of precious rust are completely easy to care for and have a long life.
