Stainless steel animal sculpture is often used for decorative sculpture because of its characteristics of not being easy to rust and bright appearance. But over a long time, some stainless steel sculpture has become rusty, seriously affecting the surrounding environment, how is this happening? Stainless steel animal sculpture rust for two reasons, one is the material, the other is the environment. In terms of material, the common stainless steel materials are 201# and 304#. 201# has high manganese content, bright and dark appearance, high manganese content, and is easy to rust. At the same time, labor-saving and low price, some manufacturers will choose 201# stainless steel in order to attract customers at a low price, which will bring great trouble to the later maintenance. 304# stainless steel contains more chromium, the surface is matte, the more chromium the better corrosion resistance, but in some cases 304# stainless steel will rust, such as in the seaside, due to salt in the air. At this time to choose 316# stainless steel, 316# stainless steel has higher chromium content, better oxidation resistance. So for stainless steel sculpture, what is the material selection and production process?

The production process and steps of stainless steel animal sculpture are not divided into indoor and outdoor, and the general process is almost the same. Relatively speaking, in the process of making small animal sculptures, the polishing process is more difficult to deal with than large stainless steel animal sculptures. In practice, the smaller the stainless steel sculpture, the gap between the Angle is too small to cause the drill can not go into it, resulting in the grinding is difficult to reach the position, then the polishing process in these areas is likely to leave defects. Therefore, stainless steel sculpture design, especially small stainless steel animal sculpture, should consider whether the modeling design is conducive to post-production, otherwise, it will leave hidden dangers to the process.

Whether indoor or outdoor, domestic stainless steel animal sculpture production materials are 304#, 2.0mm thick stainless steel plate. Some customers worry that manufacturers are not using enough materials. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. The material of stainless steel animal sculpture is too thin and too thick, which is not conducive to the implementation and completion of the process. Some of the smaller animal sculptures, with 316# stainless steel, can’t be hammered, let alone molded. Even large stainless steel animal sculptures rarely use stainless steel 316#, for one thing, the steel plate 316# is half of the price of the 304# plate. Secondly, from the point of view of maintenance, 316# plate corrosion performance is much better than 304# plate. But if it is not placed in the sea or the humidity is very large, 304# board is enough.
