Stainless steel covers the surface of some of the most iconic structures in the United States. The Gateway arch in St. Louis is clad in stainless, as is the top of the Chrysler building in New York City.
Laser cutting has some specific advantages over other cutting and fabricating techniques. They can cut the hardest materials without leaving any burrs on the edges. Lasers can also reproduce a design more precisely with no distortions.
Bronze alloys are often preferred in sculpture since the metal expands slightly before setting, filling in minute details in a mold. As the bronze cools, it shrinks a small amount, making it easy to remove. Bronze is good for extensions such as a pointed finger.
Wondering what makes stainless steel so stainless? Stainless steel is actually an alloy of steel and chromium, with a concentration between 10% and 20% to make the metal resistant to corrosion. In fact, when the metal is over 11% chromium, steel is around 200 times more resistant to corrosion.
Did you know that steel is the most recycled material in the world? In fact, 92% of discarded steel is recycled each year in the US. A big part of this is because it can be recycled and still maintain the structural qualities that give the metal its strengths.
