When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Cor-Ten steel
COR-TEN è il nome di un acciaio che occupa un posto di preminente importanza fra i tipi "a basso contenuto di elementi di lega e ad elevata resistenza meccanica".
Questo acciaio brevettato dalla United States Steel Corporation (U.S.S.) nel 1933, si è ormai decisamente affermato non solo in America, dove è utilizzato su vastissima scala, ma anche in Europa e in altri Paesi dove è stato vantaggiosamente adottato in numerosissime applicazioni.
Il grande successo raggiunto dal COR-TEN deriva dalle due principali caratteristiche che lo distinguono:
Elevata resistenza alla corrosione (CORrosion resistance);
Elevata resistenza meccanica (TENsile strength).

Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark COR-TEN steel, is a group of steel alloys which were developed to obviate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years.
United States Steel Corporation (USS) holds the registered trademark on the name COR-TEN.[1] Although USS sold its discrete plate business to International Steel Group (now Arcelor-Mittal) in 2003,[2] it still sells COR-TEN branded material in strip-mill plate and sheet forms.
In some areas it may be known without the hyphen as "Corten steel".
The original Cor-Ten received the standard designation A 242 ("Cor-Ten A") from the ASTM International standards group. Newer ASTM grades are A 588 ("Cor-Ten B") and A 606 for thin sheet. All alloys are in common production and use.
