Abstract
The corrosion in an outdoor sculpture in Cor-Ten steel by Nevelson is analyzed and a corrective procedure offered. Analysis of corrosion used applications of Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. Treatment consisted of removing corrosion using glass-bead peening, and priming interior and faying surfaces with coal tar epoxy. There is a discussion of proper construction techniques using Cor-Ten steel.
