Electroforming of Nickel and other metal
Electroforming of Nickel and other metal
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I know that electroforming is a technolgy in quick development in the rapid tooling industry and aerospacial industry. I have a few questions i would like to be anwsered:
- where can i find reliable documentation relating electroforming?
- About the viability of adapting a electrolytic coating line for the purpose of electroforming.
- other markets to explore
Thanks in advance
Paulo

Here are 2 that I have worked with several years ago.

RE: Electroforming of Nickel and other metal
I know that the companies which produce these kind of deposits are very carefull about the disclosure of information regarding the process parameters. Maybe you can tell me one simple thing: the electroforming is only an electroplating (electrodeposition) process or can it be used also with electroless nickel deposits?
Thank you in advance

RE: Electroforming of Nickel and other metal
I think that now the primary process is fully electrolytic as I ve seen nothing that even mentions the electroless process.
