The application of stainless steel sculptures is becoming increasingly widespread.

(1) Design and Samples

The sculpture designer, based on the requirements of the producer and combined with the surrounding environmental factors, designed the intention or effect diagram. After repeated confirmation and modification by the producer, the specifications and sizes of the design drawing were determined. Then, the design drawing was deepened, marked with the size of each detail, and confirmed and archived by the manufacturer. At the same time, the processing and production of the sculpture factory were sought to enable the production of small samples, so that the producer could confirm the shape of the sculpture and the more intuitive sense of the sculpture, and make suggestions for the modification of the sculpture.

(2) Modeling

Based on the samples, the manufacturer enlarged them proportionally into one-to-one mold tires for mold inversion and the production of sculpture molds. Mold tires are divided into clay tires and foam tires. The mold tires were repeatedly modified and confirmed according to the production drawings to meet the requirements and become harder molds.

According to the characteristics of the mold for the stainless steel sculpture, different parts of the mold were divided into several small pieces. These small pieces were marked and attached to the mold after cutting. According to the size and label of the sample paper, the material was opened based on the sample paper; the opened stainless steel plate was repeatedly forged and compared with the mold until it was completely consistent with the mold; according to the number of forgings, they were spliced together and welded firmly.

(4) Grinding

The grinding of stainless steel sculptures is generally divided into the following three steps: coarse grinding, medium grinding, and fine grinding. Coarse grinding: mainly using a sand mill to grind the rough surface of the workpiece to remove the uneven surface visible to the naked eye. Medium grinding: further polishing on the basis of coarse grinding to remove rough wear marks. Through this process, the surface of the workpiece gradually becomes smooth and shiny. Fine grinding: a fine polishing process to achieve the desired brightness.
