trivia Do you know all the steps involved in the production of stainless steel sculptures?
Stainless steel sculptures are common urban sculptures. Stainless steel material is resistant to corrosion from weak corrosive media such as air, steam, and water, as well as chemical erosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts. Due to the numerous advantages of stainless steel sculptures, many urban sculptures are made of stainless steel. Today, I will explain three steps in the production of stainless steel sculptures!
1. Sample preparation
1. Based on the sculpture design renderings provided by the user, create a 1:1 clay sculpture as the specific form, and an abstract form as a small sample model smaller than 1m.
2. Based on respecting the original manuscript, fully considering the comprehensive role of the subject, the feasibility of processing, the rationality of structure, and the artistry of craftsmanship, the production of clay sculpture samples has been recreated from two aspects: three-dimensional structure and artistic modeling.
II. Factory production
After the customer confirms that the sample meets their requirements, the final sample will be reasonably adjusted and enlarged according to the required proportions of the sculpture.
2. Flip the sculpture to ensure that the stainless steel skeleton supports the weight and shape of the sculpture. The main support of the stainless steel sculpture bears significant loads, including the weight of the main support, auxiliary supports, bronze wall panels, and other accessories, as well as steady-state wind loads. Under a selected wind speed, the ordinary considerations include the effects of wind forces on the statue from four directions: front, front, back, and so on. To achieve stability against a 12-level wind for the internal steel structure, the steel structure must undergo three anti-rust treatments.
3. The forged sculpture is finally formed through plate layout, blanking, cutting, artistic forging, welding, grinding, polishing, and color spraying. The main support of the stainless steel sculpture bears significant loads, including the weight of the main support, auxiliary supports, bronze statue panels, and other accessories, as well as steady-state wind loads. Under a selected wind speed, the stainless steel sculpture is subjected to various wind forces acting on it from four directions: front, front, back, and other directions. After polishing, the weld seams are full and uniform, and the welding joints show no obvious welding marks.
When casting stainless steel sculptures, it is required to restore the volume and surface texture of the clay as much as possible, and minimize the impact of factors such as sand holes and deformation.
5. Following the principles of sculptural beauty, the lines of the sculpture are smooth and natural.
6. Surface detail treatment
III. Installation Process
1. The finished stainless steel sculpture is reviewed and accepted by the customer, who then signs the factory acceptance form to confirm the installation date;
2. Stainless steel sculptures, with a wide range of themes, are often incorporated into garden compositions and are predominantly located outdoors. Garden sculptures, through their artistic representations, can reflect a certain social and temporal spirit and convey specific ideological content. They not only enhance the garden scenery but can also become the focal point of a particular section or even the entire garden's composition. Within the agreed timeframe, the sculptures are transported to the installation site, and professional personnel arrive simultaneously to participate in the installation process;
3. For large stainless steel sculptures, auxiliary tools are required for collaborative installation;
4. The head of the engineering department shall cooperate with on-site installation;
After the completion of transportation and installation, the customer's responsible person should inspect and sign the receipt, and make a record for the company;
6. Maintenance and warranty of sculptural works.
