BRASS WORKS
Custom made brass accessories
A solid and durable alloy
A solid and durable alloy, brass is a precious metal alloy made from copper and zinc, with additional variable quantities of different elements such as manganese, iron, aluminum, pond, which combine to improve its mechanical properties and weather resistance. Bronze is usually used for its hardness, corrosion resistance and easy machinability, for art objects or commonly used accessories.
Processing of brass accessories
Wax casting
Wax casting is a lost ancient technique that allows the creation of unique accessories, especially in the field of artistic jewelery. It consists of making a mold in which the molten brass is poured, which, when cooled, will take the shape of its container. Once cooled, the mold is opened to reveal the end result of the machining. With this technique, it is possible to create finely worked or enriched accessories from rhinestones and unique stones.
Brass machined by hand or machine
Brass is machined by hand or machine starting from a single ingot with tools such as cutters, pantographs or lathes. In this case, you start from a 3D digital design, which can be perfectly tailored to the digital prototype thanks to the instructions on the machine.
Photo etching on slabs
Photo etching on slabs can be applied on sheets with a thickness ranging from 0.2mm to 1.2mm. These plates can be crude or forged, depending on the desired modeling, where it is possible to apply carvings and / or engravings.
