Preserving cultural tradition and craftsmanship
Brass has a rich history which spans over 5000 years, with artefacts found in Europe and the Middle East. Brass product mainly comes from the Moradabad cluster, which is in UP, popularly known as Brass City. Mughals promoted Brass production in India in the 16th century, which had significant Persian influences. However, it flourished under the East India Company in the 18th century under Nawab Murad Ali, who supported local artists and Brass production. The Moradabad cluster comprises 4,000 metal businesses and employs 100,000 workers, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.
Manufacturing Process
- Selection of Material: First, Brass is selected as the material for the desired product.
- Melting and Casting: Brass material is then melted at a high temperature in a furnace. Later, molten metal is poured into a mould to give it a basic shape. It is accomplished through sand casting, lost wax casting, or die casting.
- Forging and Shaping: The metal is then heated so it becomes malleable. The artisans hammer the product into the desired shape using an anvil. Then, the metal is heated and cooled to increase its workability.
- Cutting & Filling: Next, excess metal is cut and removed using shears and a saw. Then, files and rasps are used to smooth the rough edges and give them a shape.
- Engraving & Embossing: The product is then engraved with intricate designs on the surface using engraving tools. A hammer is used to emboss a pattern on the surface from the reverse side.
- Joining & Assembly: The pieces are then joined together using solder. Metal pins are used to connect the parts of the product.
- Polishing & Finishing: The rough surface is smoothened using grinding tools. Then, it is polished using various compounds to achieve a shiny finish.
