Sea cans use Cor-Ten steel, also known as weathering steel. It combines the properties of corrosion resistance and tensile strength. The idea behind this is a steel that requires little to no paint and will withstand many years of outdoor usage.
It is difficult to weld using regular weld materials due to the specific alloys used in it. The alloy materials include copper, nickel and chromium. Suggestions for non structural welds include the common E7018 electrode.
