A process for depositing nickel ions on a metal surface used to make stampers for CD and DVD manufacture.
The process by which a metal master (or 'father') disc is created by electroplating nickel onto the glass master. The father is then used to create a 'mother', and from the mother, a stamper is created to be used in the injection molding machine to create the CD (or used in the press to press a vinyl record).
A jewelry manufacturing process, similar to electroplating, that creates a lightweight layer of gold or silver over a wax model which is then melted out of the finished piece.
The technique employed to produce a metal master disc from a glass master. An electroplating process coats the glass master, retaining the embedded pits. The resulting disc, sometimes called the father, can then be used to produce a mother and a series of stampers for actual disc pressing.
A method of electroplating a layer of metal over formed wax to capture the design of the wax. In the process the wax is melted out leaving only the "hollow" metal shell. Electrolytic Process
The process of creating a metal master (called a father), by electroplating nickel onto a glass master until a sheet of nickel has been chemically grown to a usable thickness. After the "father" is made, the process is repeated to grow "mothers". Often, "sons" or "stampers" will be made to place in the injection molding machines for replication.
A technical process in which a matrix is suspended in a bath of free metal ions, that are then influenced to attach themselves because of the creation of a flow of electricity, generally from a rectifier.
An electroplating process used to make metal EDM electrodes.
Electroplating a layer of the desired thickness over a copper or copper-coated form; in this way an item is obtained with the shape and decorative elements present on the original, which is then melted out.
The process of forming metal objects by using an electric current to deposit the metal in a mould.
Electroforming is a highly specialized process of metal part fabrication using electrodeposition in a plating bath over a base form or mandrel which is subsequently removed. Technically, it is a process of synthesizing a metal object by controlling the electrodeposition of metal passing through an electrolytic solution onto a metal or metallized formâ€(http://www.katefowle.com/tips.htm). More simply, a metal skin is built up on a metal surface, or any surface that has been rendered electroconductive through the application of a paint that contains metal particles.
