Bronze craftsmanship
The traditional process of making bronze
(A) to be made with a special mud solid cast bronze clay mold
(2) die in the mud outside the range block Clone
(3) outside the norm and add dressing detailed engraved pattern, stitching the pieces outside the building into chunks
(4) production of the corresponding predetermined position in the bronze inscriptions
(5) mold scrape the mud layer thickness of this layer is to be cast bronze gap thickness
(6) Production of gates and risers exemplary sectional view after
(7) with a temperature of about 600 degrees into a ceramic baking, preheat the synthetic whole range and perfusion liquid copper
(8) break, remove bronze
Lost wax Profile
(A) a smoked plastic material argillaceous Fan Fan furnace to make dried.
(2) within the paste wax within the range.
(3) tablets carved empty. Carved.
(4) plastic material with wax mouth of Beaulieu and wax column.
(5) wax sprue system, the exhaust channel and welded into a whole group of wax.
(6) Fan material diluted slurry, repeatedly applied to the wax casting is formed outside the liquid copper to withstand the required thickness. Dried, taken drier Fan material coated on the outer layer of mud, and then dried mud into the overall scope.
(7) cup down, baking Fan material, wax melts out, baked 600-850 degrees Celsius into Tao Fan.
(8) before injection bronze Tao Fan fluid preheated to the sintering temperature.
(9) copper solidified after cooling, removal of the inner and outer Van, cut off the gate.
(10) complete ovens complex shape, be properly polished.
Modern bronze production process
Antique bronze production process belongs to the lost wax casting. Lost wax casting is a precision casting one, suggests that it is a high technological requirements. It most customers The process of imagination is not the same, some customers mistakenly think: “Is not doing a casting mold, pour one out of one, very simple.” Is actually not the case. [2]
Lost wax casting process:
First step, making wax. Each will need to be done to make a bronze wax. In other words, what kind of wax, bronze is what. Making wax into four:
First, shaping, that is carved out of a first wax wax;
The second is to carve out the first one to do wax mold (mold from the plaster or silicone rubber), is designed to reduce the plastic every time, because you can make through the mold and a wax-identical Many wax;
Followed by pressure type mold, about the wax melted wax pressed by the pressure device is possible into a mold to shape;
Pressure out of the wax needs modification, so we must finishing wax type, that type of personnel using special tools to repair a sum on wax-modified (wax finishing their quality is an important factor affecting the quality of a ring; final is the group type, the upcoming refined wax repaired grouped together (for ease of casting).
The second step, crusts, dewaxing, firing casting, set a good wax, the first to be linked to the sand, crusts. The group dip into the wax-type colloidal solution with a good advance, followed by fire and then from fine to coarse quartz sand, over and over again, layer by layer on a wax-coated hanging on, thus making the inner and outer walls of wax-knot shell (wax-like quartz sand layer was wrapped in the middle).
Followed by dewaxing, about good crust shell mold into hot water because the heat will melt the wax and lighter than water will gush from the mold shell and surfaced, which would form a cavity. Finally, write the shell mold cavity into the roaster, roasting temperature to 800 degrees and then melted bronze was poured into the already baked good mold shell molding.
The third step, clear shell, polished and for the old. Clear shell is to have infusion molding shell exterior and interior of the quartz sand layer is removed, re-use equipment on the product after clear shell slightly polished, final product surface treatment (chemical reaction formula confidentiality) to achieve the desired results.
For the old is the production process and an important one, now unearthed bronze because after thousands of years of a chemical reaction, the surface of a layer of green rust, and now you want in just four or five days to generate green rust , which requires a chemical reaction accelerated through modern natural corrosion of copper, generally approved by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage high imitation goods, only rusty one off will make up nearly a year or even longer. When the proportion of metalworking and the local natural environment caused artifacts rust is varied, there is water, rust, black ancient, ancient green paint, rust, etc., in order to achieve a realistic effect will need to go through several processing and the environment should always adjust pH and humidity.
Because after arising after for the old rusty copper’s natural chemical reaction, so even with a product whose rust is not exactly the same, which makes more collectible antique bronze.
