What Metals Are Used in the Creative Arts Industry?
There is a range of metals that can be used in the creative arts industry, each with its own unique properties.
Some of the most common metals used in creative arts projects include:
- Steel – Strong and durable, steel is perfect for heavy-duty projects. It’s also one of the most versatile metals, making it suitable for almost any process.
- Copper – Copper is a soft metal that is easy to work with. It has a beautiful colour that makes it popular in artistic projects.
- Brass – A mixture of copper and zinc, brass is tougher than copper but softer than steel. It is perfect for projects that need to be delicate but still withstands a lot of wear and tear.
- Aluminium – Lightweight and strong, aluminium is perfect for projects that need to be portable. It is also corrosion-resistant, making it a good choice for outdoor sculptures.When it comes to metal fabrication for the creative arts industry, choosing the right metal is essential. At Kanyana Engineering, we can help you decide which material will work best for your artwork or equipment.
To keep it simple, all our services are provided in-house, from computer-aided design through to laser cutting, bending and welding.
What Metals Are Used in the Manufacturing Industry?
The manufacturing industry relies on a variety of metals to create finished products. Some of the most common metals used for product manufacturing include steel, aluminium, brass, and copper.
- Steel is a durable and versatile metal that is often used in the manufacturing industry. It is strong enough to withstand a lot of wear and tear, making it ideal for products that will be used outdoors or in environments with a lot of abuse.
- Aluminium is another popular metal used in manufacturing, as it is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. This makes it a good choice for products that need to be durable but also easy to transport.

How is Steel Used in the Creative Arts Industry?
Steel has a wide variety of uses in the creative arts space. Steel is often chosen for art projects because it is strong and durable, and can be easily welded, shaped, etched and more.
Aluminium Sculptures
Aluminium is the most popular metal used in artwork as it is light weight easy to handle and very versatile to the weather elements. Mild Steel/Corten would be the next popular for weather resistant although this metal is heavy
Framing of Large Art Pieces
Steel is also commonly used in the framing of large art pieces. By providing a sturdy frame, the art piece can be hung without fear of it falling or being damaged. This is a particularly important consideration for outdoor installations.

Our Projects: Wildflower Country Trail
In 2016, the team at Kanyana Engineering worked with artist Sally Malone to design and create beautiful signage and outdoor art pieces for Wildflower Country, WA.
Sally Malone worked alongside Kulbardi Hill Consulting and Clear Vision Graphics for this art project. She designed unique and interpretive signage to be positioned around the ‘Exploring Wildflower Country’ trail.
At Kanyana Engineering, we were well equipped to take on this unique art project. We fabricated a range of different art pieces for this project combining several metals including steel, Corten weathering steel, aluminium, and galvanised metals.
We utilised our advanced laser cutting machinery to create a range of branding, directional and interpretive signage, all with a different aesthetic in mind. This was a great opportunity to demonstrate Kanyana’s capacity to work with multiple metals to create intricate, durable outdoor art pieces.
