Dear Sir
I'm interesting for electroforming making small articles for
jewerly.
1 Test : Taking ring wax (blue) speciment and I covered with coal
spray particles (carbon spray) for contuctivity purpose and imerssed
it in AgCN,KCN solution (kit)
Volt : 0,5
Amp : 0,2
Duration : 6 hrs
anode : silver
I got an article o,35 mm thick bat it was very toughness with gross
particles made
2 Test : Taking ring wax (blue) speciment and I covered with coal
spray particles (carbon spray) for contuctivity purpose .First
electroplating with Ni (Nickel solution) in order to make a substrate
of Ni.
Volt : 1,4
Amp : 0,2
Duration : 2 hrs
anode : nickel
After that I finished electroforming in AgCN,KCN solution (kit).
Volt : 0,5
Amp : 0,2
Duration : 3 hrs
anode : silver
The result was good,concerning the surface and particles made,but
with tensile strenght and elongation is bad.It was broken very easy.
So if you please,can you suggest me a procedure (Volt,Amp,time )
with your materials and solutions in order to get a proper in
strenfth electroformed silver and gold articles
Thank you.
