Research on Particle Flow Erosion Precision Electroforming Technology

Abstract:

t is possible to get electroforming deposit with numerous special functions by adoption of traditional electroforming technique, but in which there are defects such as uneven electroforming deposit and unstable performance, etc. In order to enhance the quality and speed of electroforming deposit, this article has proposed the particle flow erosion precision electroforming technology, particle flows such as huge amount of micro glass bead is used in the process of electro-deposit for erosion of electroforming deposit surface, so that micro glass beads continuously abrade and impact cathode surface. As indicated in electroforming test of metallic nickel, in comparison with traditional electroforming technology, particle flow erosion precision electroforming technology can effectively change the microscopic structure of electroforming deposit, refine grain and realize evener distribution of grains, so as to reduce the diffracted intensity of all crystal faces and enhance mechanical property of electroforming deposit.
