About Stainless Steel Sculpture

In the 1960s, the famous American sculptor David Smith first applied stainless steel material to sculpture. Since then, stainless steel sculpture has gradually become an important form of contemporary sculpture art.

Advantages of Stainless Steel

The advantages of sculptures made of stainless steel are that they can resist the corrosion of weak corrosive media such as air, steam, and water, and chemical corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts. Therefore, stainless steel sculptures are not prone to rusting, easy to clean, and durable.

Typical Applications

Because of the advantages of stainless steel sculptures mentioned above, many urban sculptures are made of stainless steel. It is widely used in outdoor and indoor places such as residential areas, parks, gardens, botanical gardens, squares, shopping malls, hotels, guesthouses, and clubs.

The stainless steel sculptures Awork offers

There are various types of stainless steel sculptures, and there are different types according to different classification standards.

Classified by form

Stainless steel has extremely strong plasticity and can be made into stainless steel geometric sculptures, stainless steel round sculptures, stainless steel abstract sculptures, etc.

Stainless steel circular sculpture

The stainless steel round sculpture can be appreciated from any angle. Round sculpture focuses on the shaping of the form, presenting a complete and realistic form through the flow of lines and the transition of the body.

Stainless steel geometric sculpture

The stainless steel geometric sculpture is made of stainless steel. This novel idea is amazing! When making a stainless steel geometric sculpture, it is necessary to show the characteristics, exquisite structure and tortuous form.

Stainless steel abstract sculpture

Abstract sculpture refers to non-figurative sculpture, and all sculptures except realistic sculptures are abstract sculptures. Abstract sculptures can express artistic conceptions that realistic sculptures cannot express.

Stainless steel sculptures classified by application

The overall use of sculpture can generally be divided into two situations: indoor and outdoor. The outdoor stainless steel sculptures are used for urban, landscape, park and garden decoration.

Urban Sculpture

Urban sculpture refers to those large sculptures placed in public places such as squares, parks, commercial streets. It focuses on the inheritance of urban culture and history, and also displays the image and the city’s cultural connotation.

Forging

Forging can shape complex forms and fine details, making the sculptures more solid and durable, so it is often used in the production of large urban sculptures and landscape sculptures.

Casting

The advantages of casting sculptures is it provides regular forms and delicate details, and the surface of the sculptures is smooth and bright, and is mostly used in the creation of small decorative sculptures and handicraft sculptures.

Welding

Welding sculpture has a free form and unique details, full of a modern sense and artistic atmosphere, and it is very common in personalized custom sculptures.

Selection of materials for stainless steel sculptures

The material of stainless steel sculptures has an important influence on the quality and lifespan of the works. At present, the most commonly used materials in the market include #304 , #316 and #201 stainless steel.

304 stainless steel is suitable for making outdoor sculptures, especially applicable for coastal cities with a high salinity in the air due to its good corrosion resistance.

Compared to #304, #316 stainless steel is more suitable for use in marine environments due to its stronger corrosion resistance.

#201 stainless steel is better for making indoor decorations because its poor corrosion resistance but the cost is relatively low.

Of course, in addition to the materials, there are also some other aspects such as thickness, surface treatment and internal structure that you need to consider.

Other significant aspects in the production

Thickness

Generally speaking, a thickness between 1.5-3mm is relatively suitable for stainless steel sculptures. The price increases with the increase of the sheet thickness, not only because the increase of thickness increases the material cost, but more importantly because the difficulty of plasticity increases with the increase of the material thickness.

Interior structure

The internal structure is related to the stability of large-scale sculpture works, and usually steel frames or steel plates can be used for reinforcement.

Surface finishing

The surface treatment such as mirror finish, wire drawing or sandblasting will be selected according to the design requirements.

Stainless steel sculptures base

The base provides a stable support for the stainless steel sculpture. Concrete, stone or steel plates can be selected as the base.
