 New Journal Entry:  COR-TEN and Other Weathering Steel Alloys in Architectural Applications

COR-TEN and other weathering steel alloys are popular among architects for their rusty appearance, which is caused by the actual rusting of the metal.  Once the rusting starts, the metal begins to turn orange, and over time can become a dark brownish color.  On thick weathering steel panels, this corrosion can act as a protective layer that prevents further corrosion.  Weathered weathering steel can be aesthetically pleasing, yet the same corrosion which causes the rust can actually perforate thin-gage weathering steel sheets.  To read more, click here.

CSI Certification News

If you are planning to sit for one of the Certification exams, congratulations!  You're taking another step toward advancing your career.  Study thoroughly, and don't be shy about asking questions on the CSI forums, on Facebook, or in Linkedin groups (remember, though, that the only official answers will come from CSI and the source materials). Add to your professional knowledge and credibility in our industry with a CDT Certificate or achieve one of the upper-level Certifications, CCS, CCCA, or CCPR.  Watch this space for information on the Denver Chapter's CDT prep classes that will be coming up in just a few months. 

If you still are not convinced that you should consider CSI certification, read this post by Randal Reifsnider, or these commentsby some other CSI members!
