Sculpture Introduction:
This is a metal heart sculpture made of corten steel. This sculpture is a minimalist design without complicated decoration and high-end design. But it simply shows an atmosphere full of love. With the rust-red color of the corten steel itself, such a heart-shaped sculpture would become a beautiful landscape as an outdoor decoration. Such corten steel sculptures could be decorated in many outdoor venues, creating a warm atmosphere for your venue.
Production Process:
While making this metal heart sculpture. First we would choose the right material. If you like our design, we’ll choose corten steel for you. Taking corten steel as an example, we would first cut the suitable metal steel to size and shape, and then it would be hand forged by our artisans. After forging, the corten steel would have the proper curvature and could then be assembled into this heart-shaped design. After that, our craftsmen weld these steel sheets together with a full welding process. Then rust the surface of the corten steel.
Why Should the Surface of Corten Steel Be Rusted?
This is because the rust layer of corten steel is different from that of other steels. The rust layer of corten steel is composed of nanoparticle α-FeOOH. In this dense rust layer, nickel atoms replace some of the positions of iron atoms, which makes the rust layer have cation selectivity and inhibits the permeation of corrosive anions. It is this dense rust layer that makes the corten steel rusted on the surface, but the interior would not continue to be rusted, but would better protect the internal structure. Moreover, the color of the corten steel after rusting would be more beautiful, and it is easier to become the highlight of people’s sight. In addition, the surface color of corten steel would not fade, but would become more beautiful over time.
How To Do Rust?
The first step is to clean the surface to remove the oil and dust on the surface of the steel plate.
The second step is to spray the rust accelerator and wait for 5-10 minutes .
The third step, wait for 5-10 minutes, rinse with clean water, and dry (to complete the rust promotion) .
The fourth step, if you feel that the rust layer is light in color, you could continue to water the workpiece or apply a rust accelerator one more time.
The fifth step, if you want the rusted surface to be resistant to friction, you could use a rust fixer.
The Advantages of Corten Steel as this Metal Heart Sculpture:
Corten steel is a material with higher color brightness and saturation than general building materials. Therefore, the metal heart sculpture made of corten steel is easy to stands out against the background of garden plants. In addition, the rough surface produced by the corrosion of the steel plate makes the structure more voluminous and qualitative. So using such a heart-shaped corten steel sculpture as your outdoor decoration would definitely be a good choice.
