ElectroformingElectroforming of gold, traditionally used in jewellery manufacture is now being used to produce industrial components A new patented electroforming technology allows ABSSAC Ltd in the UK to now supply solid gold electroforms. This unique combination of properties makes gold a vital component in many medical, industrial, and electrical applications. In the application below, electroformed gold contacts were used in a circuit testing machine:
Electrodeposited products are formed by machining a precision
mandrel to the shape of the desired form (or inside of the
bellows) and then depositing the correct thickness of quality
metal on to the mandrel. The mandrel is then dissolved away
leaving the precision finished product behind. Enabling
the use of gold within applications has allowed some remarkable
properties of the material to be exploited. CONTACT: |
