Rust without the Dust

I have heard about a manufacturer that has a process for creating a rust finish on mild steel that apparently is not rust. They claim that the finish is "rust not dust". It looks and feels like rust, and does not appear to have any type of sealant on it. Anybody know about this?

Somewhere out in the Illinois/Iowa Tri-Cities area--sorry I can't remember exactly where it was--there is a corporate headquarters building made of what you are describing. I believe it's called Cor-Ten steel; if you look that up on the web you may find the manufacturer and the corporate headquarters building.
