So, what are the materials for casting copper sculptures? Here is a brief introduction.

Cast copper sculpture mainly uses three kinds of materials:

1. Bronze: Bronze has good casting processability, acid resistance, alkali resistance, salt resistance and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for precision casting and stable in coloring. Bronze casting art is also an important branch of China sculpture art; Its main components are copper and tin, and contain a very small amount of aluminum and zinc, and the national standard is 38 #;

2. Red copper: Red copper is what we call pure copper. It has good plasticity and is very suitable for forging process. If other metals are not added, it is not suitable for casting. The national standard is 96 #;

3. Brass: Brass has good casting processability, corrosion resistance and stable coloring, and is suitable for precision casting; Its main components are copper and zinc, and it also contains a very small amount of aluminum and tin. The national standards are 62# and 63#.
