LAS BUSUR UNTUK PENCIPTAAN KARYA 3 DIMENSI PERMUKAAN LENGKUNG BAHAN AS STAINLESS STEEL BENTUK OVAL

Abstract

This study uses an experimental-descriptive practical research method, focused on the use of arc welding techniques with stainless steel shaft for the creation of 3-dimensional works with curved surfaces. Application for oval form case studies. The purpose of this research is to identify the materials and equipment needed in the welding process with arc welding techniques; know the stages of implementing the creation process starting from preparation, workmanship, and finishing. This experimental-descriptive practice research method was chosen because the researcher was directly involved in the welding experiment process, felt firsthand the level of difficulty and various obstacles in the creation process, and analyzed the results during the research, accompanied by documentation and recording. This research resulted in a 3-dimensional work of art made of stainless steel axles with oval-formed curved surfaces and research conclusions, one of which occurred shrinking the form of the welding results. The results of this research could potentially increase the diversity of art and craft products that use stainless steel axles, such as sculptures, furniture, metal crafts, and so on.
