Myth, Man and Metal: Bronze Sculpture of Ancient Greece and Rome (1996)

“Thousands of gleaming bronze statues adorned the cities and sanctuaries of the classical world. They represented gods and heroes, poets and philosophers, rulers and statesmen. ‘How were they made?’…’Were they mass-produced?’…’What happened to them all?’ are some of the questions answered in this multi-faceted lecture.

Bronze statues Jewelry Custom silver: the lost wax method

The method of lost wax casting is a method of metal that was used for six thousand years. Virtually unchanged since been used by the ancients, the method is now used to create pieces such as sculptures in bronze, silver jewelry personalized, dental care, or even auto parts.

"Lost Wax" or lost wax casting method is a metal that has been used for more than six thousand years. In essence, it is casting metal into a mold created from the wax, resulting in complex forms otherwise impossible to create. The method of wax lost is used today to create pieces such as sculptures in bronze, a silver pendant, a gold dental crown, or even a auto part alloy.

The lost wax method is the best way to create intricate designs in metal, it is commonly used for the manufacture of custom jewelry produced. The technology and tools have evolved, of course, but the method is essentially the same that used in ancient Egypt.

The first artist will sculpt his masterpiece of clay, wax or other malleable material. Then, the model is embedded in plaster or fiberglass to create a mold. An inner mold is often created during this time also, by pouring liquid rubber around the model. This preserves the finest of details, important because when the plaster is broken apart, the original model is usually destroyed.

When the two halves are put back together, the result is the master mold. The interior is empty space, a "negative" of the original. Hot wax is then poured into the space to coat sides. Depending on the size of the room, a number of coatings may be necessary. The hollow wax copy of a nearly perfect replica of the original is then removed (multiple copies can be created at that time).

The wax copy is then "hunted" using heated tools to remove the seams where the mold came together. Each copy is carefully "dressed" to hide imperfections remaining.

Then, "carrots" are attached to the piece, which are essentially small rods of wax that will result in tiny metal tubes to flow, and air flow.

The wax replica is then coated with ceramic materials and fired. At this stage, the wax on the bottom, hence the term "lost wax". Negative space is now (and the small roads left by sprues). Finally, the molten metal hot can be poured into the mold in the exact form of the original model.

The piece metal is also being pursued to remove the marks left by the casting, and detailed to perfection. If in fact a bronze sculpture is At this time the final act of adding color occurs.

The lost wax method can be used with any What material will disappear (melt or burn) and leave a vacuum mold. For example, some manufacturers are making models of motor unit on a synthetic foam, which vaporize into heated. This complex process allows every detail to be shaped in the most delicate metals. This makes it ideal for jewelry.

When working with small pieces of jewelry as the process differs slightly from this metal can not be poured in such a tiny mold. Instead, the liquid metal is injected into the limited space by centrifugal vacuum casting (A machine that uses centrifugal force) or (using the atmospheric pressure).

Artisans like jewelry John used the lost wax method for etch inspiration in their heritage jewels. They specialize in silver bells handcrafted and pendants silver, and with intricate detail they convey emotion in beautiful custom silver jewelry. These complex designs would not be possible without this old method of casting.
