Many places have planned a series of urban stone sculpture in urban construction, including commemorative stone sculpture, city symbolic stone sculpture, urban landscape stone sculpture, a large part of which are Stone Garden Decor. Bronze sculpture has a long history, mature technology, and good resilience in its artistic creation. Suitable for making high-quality products, especially some character stone sculpture.
1. There are three main materials used in Stone Garden Decor
① Bronze: Bronze has good casting properties, is acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, salt-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. It is suitable for precision casting and has stable coloring. Bronze casting art is also an important branch of stone carving art; its main components are copper and tin, with small amounts of aluminum and zinc.
②Brass: Brass has good casting processing performance, corrosion resistance, stable coloring, and is suitable for investment casting; its main components are copper and zinc, with small amounts of aluminum and tin.
③Red copper: Red copper is what we call pure copper. It has good plasticity and is very suitable for forging processes. It is not suitable for casting without adding other metals.
2. The Stone Garden Decor is made of copper. Copper is oxidizing. If exposed to humid air for a long time, the stone sculpture will be contaminated by dust and other dirt, so it is necessary to understand its maintenance. Five points that should be paid attention to when decorating and maintaining stone gardens
①The environment in which stone garden decorative crafts are placed must be kept dry and free of dust and air pollutants. Temperature 18℃-24℃, relative humidity 40%-50%.
②Stone Garden Decor crafts must prevent contact with harmful chemicals, such as acids, oils, chlorides, etc. Wear cotton gloves when moving copper handicrafts, and do not touch them directly with your hands to avoid being corroded by the sweat on your hands. Nor can it be packed in greasy paper or boxes.
③The dust on the Stone Garden Decor crafts should be wiped clean with a clean and soft cloth. Those parts that require special care (fragile and easily damaged) should be brushed off with a soft brush, or sucked or blown off with a vacuum cleaner.
④ To prevent mechanical damage to Stone Garden Decor and handicrafts, avoid collisions with each other, avoid overlapping and stacking, and pay more attention to the maintenance of finely crafted and easily damaged copper handicrafts.
⑤ If the stone garden decorative crafts are left for too long, they may become more or less dull depending on the environment. At this time, you can wipe it back and forth with a cotton muslin cloth.
