stone crafts are a common outdoor decorative art. They have the advantages of corrosion resistance, weather resistance, anti-pollution, etc. Therefore, various forms of stone crafts are commonly seen in public places, parks, squares and other places. There are many techniques for making stone crafts. Here are some common techniques for making stone crafts.
1. Hand polishing: This is one of the basic production processes. Stone crafts are polished and trimmed by hand to make the surface smooth and bright. This process requires experienced craftsmen, who can polish it according to the design drawings to achieve the desired effect.
2. Welding: The production of stone crafts is inseparable from the welding process. Welding is mainly used to connect and fix the parts of stone crafts to form a complete stone sculpture shape. The welding process requires the operator to be proficient in welding technology to ensure that the solder joints are firm and not easy to break.
3. Polishing: Polishing is to polish the surface of stone sculpture to make the surface appear brighter and more delicate. The polishing process can be either mechanical polishing or manual polishing. Mechanical polishing uses polishing machinery and equipment, while manual polishing requires the operator to polish with sandpaper and other tools.
4. Oxidation: Oxidation is a chemical reaction that forms an oxide film on the surface of the stone sculpture to increase the corrosion resistance and decorative effect of the stone sculpture. The oxidation process requires the use of oxidants and process equipment, and operators need to have chemical knowledge and operating experience to ensure the safety and reliability of the oxidation process.
5. Splicing: stone crafts are generally larger, so multiple parts often need to be spliced during the production process. The splicing process requires the operator to understand the characteristics of the stone crafts and be proficient in using splicing skills to ensure that the splicing joints are firmly connected and the appearance is flawless.
6. Coating: Coating is spraying or sandblasting the surface of stone sculpture to increase the decorative effect and corrosion resistance of the stone sculpture. The coating process requires craftsmen to skillfully use coating equipment, select suitable coating materials, and perform effective anti-corrosion and decorative treatments.
7. Carving: Carving is one of the important processes in the production of stone crafts. Through carving, the stone crafts can have a richer and three-dimensional modeling effect. The carving process requires craftsmen to have artistic modeling capabilities and manual operation skills, and can carve according to design drawings.
The above are the common production processes of stone crafts manufacturers. Of course, with the advancement of science and technology and the continuous innovation of technology, the production process of stone crafts will continue to be updated and expanded. No matter which process is used, stone crafts require craftsmen to have rich experience and superb skills to ensure the production of high-quality stone crafts.
