Production of monuments and sculptures

Victor Borisov via

The company "Lit Art" focuses on the monumental art of casting bronze, aluminum and cast iron. In addition, here are made plaster sculptures of all sizes. I visited two production workshops and prepared for you a virtual tour of how arranged production. And next week there will be organized the first public tour. So, we proceed to the examination.





Sometimes the sites are doing is entirely made of gypsum, for that first creates a copy of the scale on which are marked control points.



Then, the control points welded main frame.



Who later obkladyvaetsya plaster, while the sculpture is hollow inside.



The monument is made of this model can be seen at the end of the story.



This is still in operation. It wrapped film after primary impart overall shape.



Go to the shop of art casting. There is much more interesting.



With a working model made of clay or gypsum plaster mold is removed lumps. According to information received form made wax models of separate parts of the sculpture.



The wax pattern are placed in the plaster mold, where they cool. The wax model cooled stuffed core mold of the cold-hardening mixture (CTS), which is composed of resin and sand. Exterior plaster mold is opened, and the author of the wax can make the necessary improvements to make the model of the future cast a working model of compliance.



Lump form of cold-hardening mixture disassembled. The wax is removed manually with rod form of CTD and not melted in the furnace. The inner surface of the parsed form of paint is covered with non-stick, which can be of two kinds: one - for the most accurate casting small pieces of fabric, and the second - to obtain a perfectly smooth surface of the product. In the cavity from which the wax has been removed, the molten metal is poured.



Preparation of cold-hardening mixture (CTS).



Working progress.



All billets are moved in the workshop by electric winches. Already we started kindling furnace.



On finishing one complete furnace vat to condition it takes about 10 minutes.



We pour the molten metal from the boiler and remove the "scum."



Pour into pre-prepared form.



And while preparing a second vat of metal look around - away shop finishing with bronze blanks.



Repeat the process.



Fill.



HOT !!!



Work boils



Subject to metal solidification.



And pour the excess back into the oven.



After the molded parts zastynut they should be collected in a solid monument. This is done using gas welding.



Working scale model.



And it is already finished monument.



Somewhere saw off somewhere welded - and then all of this grind.
