Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the advantages of computer simulation and parametric studies in improving the copper electroforming process. For this purpose, the finite element model for a cone geometry was prepared using the Comsol software, and the effect of key parameters including applied current density, solution electrical conductivity, electrode spacing, and anode length, on the thickness uniformity. In order to validate the model, a conical shell was produced in the laboratory by electroforming method, and the thickness distribution was compared with the simulation results. The comparison of the results showed that using the tertiary current distribution method to simulate the electroforming process is a precise and efficient model and can be used for parametric studies. Finally, after parametric study, it was determined that all selected variables had a significant effect on the thickness uniformity. In addition, it was found that the most to least significant variables were applied current density, solution conductivity, anode-cathode spacing, and anode length, respectively.
