Material characteristics of stainless steel sculptures
Aug 25,2025
corrosion resistance
Stainless steel has a chromium content of ≥ 10.5%, forming a dense oxide film (Cr ₂ O3) on the surface, which can resist corrosion such as acid rain and salt spray, and is suitable for long-term outdoor use.
316L stainless steel (medical grade) has stronger corrosion resistance and is commonly used in coastal or heavily polluted areas.
Gloss and texture
After polishing, it presents a mirror effect and can reflect the surrounding environment (such as the sky, buildings, and crowds), forming a dynamic visual interaction.
Matte treatment (such as wire drawing and sandblasting) can reduce light pollution and create a low-key luxury feel.
Strength and Lightweight
Compared to carbon steel, stainless steel has higher strength and lighter weight, making it easier to transport and install large sculptures.
Hollow structure design can further reduce weight while maintaining structural stability.
plasticity
Complex surface shapes such as flow lines and abstract geometric forms can be achieved through processes such as forging, stretching, and bending.
Support precision machining such as laser cutting and CNC engraving, with strong detail expression.
