Technical Study of Laminated Template Electroforming in Fabrication of Metal Parts

Article Preview

Abstract:

Laminated templates electroforming (LTE) is one kind of metal-parts directly forming technologies which are based on discrete/accumulation theory. This paper introduces the forming principle, equipment configuration and experimental studies. By using templates as auxiliary tool and jet electroforming as filling method, the current density of electroforming was significantly improved and a group of copper parts in specific shape were fabricated. Experimental results show that on-load voltage, nozzle diameter, spray distance, spray flow velocity have direct influence on processing speed and locality. A small diameter of nozzle and short spray distance helps to achieve a precise locality and good dimensional accuracy, after process parameters have been optimized.
