It would involve layering and alternating sheets of stainless and copper or brass with areas cut out in order to achieve a specific variegated pattern. I am aware that galvanic corrosion can occur between copper and mild steel, but am not certain about the potential chemical interactions arising from stainless being in direct contact with copper or brass... Can someone more well versed in metallurgy please advise?</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/hautsteel/2009/11/galvanic_corrosion">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/hautsteel/2009/11/galvanic_corrosion#comment copper corrosion stainless steel Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:28:43 -0600 hautsteel 9078 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2008/05/brown_patina_by_the_ocean <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p>Hi all, An architect asked for some suggestions for a project by the pacific ocean. He wants to clad(decoratively) parts of a high rise with a metal with a mottled brown(bronze) patina. I know that there are some stainless steels that do well around the salty air environment, but can you patina it to look like bronze? How about other materials like aluminum, copper, or actually bronze? Would they hold up in that environment? Once up access will be very limited and they will be outdoors.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2008/05/brown_patina_by_the_ocean">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2008/05/brown_patina_by_the_ocean#comment bronze corrosion saltwater stainless steel Tue, 06 May 2008 12:57:33 -0500 eligius1427 5752 at http://www.artmetal.com
