A Brief Discussion on the Manufacturing Technology of Stone Garden Decor

Stone Garden Decor is a new type of stone carving developed on the basis of traditional Stone Carving. Because of its unique bright, lively, non-pollution, and conformity with modern urban life, it has gradually been accepted by the public and occupies a large market share. The share is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a trend of surpassing traditional stone sculpture, and we will reveal the secrets of the Stone Garden Decor manufacturing process for you.

1. It is cutting material. Generally, the tool used is electric scissors, which can cut thin plates below 2mm, but the flatness is not good after cutting. There is also a cutting machine, which can cut both thick and thin plates, but it can only cut straight lines, and there is nothing to do when encountering arcs. If you want to cut the stainless steel sheet into flat and various shapes, you need to use a plasma cutting machine. Plasma cutting machines can use high plasma to cut metals that are difficult to cut with ordinary oxygen cutting methods. Because the electric current and gas are passed into the special water-cooled nozzle, a strong compression arc is formed to form a plasma flow with a very high temperature (above 10,000 degrees), so the cut stainless steel sheet is neat and does not deform. Note that the hand must be steady when cutting the material, otherwise the material will be cut. After the material is cut, it must be planed according to the shape required by the work. Don't leave flaws on the surface of the board, so as not to leave defects after the work is polished.
2. It is a method of making carbon steel plate stone sculpture and stainless steel plate stone sculpture. The carbon steel plate and stainless steel plate are not knocked on the mold, but according to the different shapes of each part of the plaster model, the material is knocked out consciously according to the ups and downs of the plaster model. It can be knocked on any tangible and solid object, and then the knocked stainless steel plate is taken to the mold for comparison. It is believed that the shape is correct and can be completely closed with the model, and then these scattered carbon steel plates, stainless steel plates The plates are welded one by one from top to bottom, and each piece must be adjusted against the mold. The texture effect of the surface of each stainless steel plate must remain the same, which must be forged while making the shape. You can also forge the points first and then cut the material. When forging points, use the round head of the hammer to forge evenly and regularly in rows. The width and distance and force should be the same. Don't knock randomly, otherwise it will destroy the overall sense of the stone carving.
3. After the shape is forged correctly, they must be welded together according to the requirements of the work (including electric welding and argon arc welding). For electric welding, electric welding machine, welding handle and welding rod should be prepared. Due to the high degree of light generated during welding, it is highly irritating to the eyes, so wear a protective cover to avoid being injured by strong light. Welding with electric welding, the stainless steel plate is deformed to a greater degree when exposed to heat, so some measures should be taken, such as spot welding first or cooling while welding. Argon arc welding is superior to electric welding. It is a gas-shielded arc welding method. Argon gas is used to protect the metals melted by the arc at the joints to avoid the harmful effects of oxygen and nitrogen in the air. Argon arc welding can be divided into melting electrode argon arc welding, non-melting electrode arc welding or tungsten argon arc welding according to the different electrode materials used. In Stone Garden Decorative welding, tungsten argon arc welding is commonly used to obtain excellent welding quality. Because it is not easy to conduct heat, the deformation of stainless steel is relatively high.
4. Polishing of carbon steel plate and stainless steel. First, use a grinding wheel to smooth the weld seams and excess parts of the work, and then use a soft wheel (cloth wheel) for polishing. When polishing, the work is coated with polishing paste to increase lubrication, so that the work can be thrown out Brighter, thus giving a good visual aesthetic feeling.
5. The relatively large and simple Stone Garden Decor does not need to be welded. According to the shape and proportion of the work, the steel skeleton can be directly made, and the designed position can be drilled with an electric drill, and the stainless steel plate can be fixed on the skeleton with rivets. This method requires that the calculation of the proportion of the skeleton is very accurate, and the seams must be aligned very accurately, otherwise there will be differences and the expected effect will not be achieved.
