Colin, I bought a sheet (3mm)of what was called Corten or Cor-ten (years ago) for the floor of my carrier. It was marketed as a steel that had more corrosion resistance. (sometimes used in truck decks) Now it seems to be used more as a paneling or cladding finish where the steel corrodes (oxidizes)and that protects the steel from further deterioration. (no further treatment) It is of course a trade name and so other steel producers have other names for a similar spec.
It just might be a slightly better option than mild steel.
