Description

In-situ monitoring device for internal stress of plating layer and pH of plating solution in electroforming process
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of electroforming chemistry, and particularly relates to an online in-situ monitoring device for internal stress of a plating layer and pH of a plating solution in an industrial electroforming process.
Background
With the rapid development of the deep space exploration technology, pulsar navigation and astronomical observation technologies, the demand of people for high-efficiency and high-performance X-ray telescopes is increasing. At present, the lens of the X-ray telescope mainly adopts a Wolter-I type electroformed lens, and the main preparation process comprises the steps of aluminum mandrel processing, mandrel surface Ni-P alloy chemical plating, mandrel surface ultra-fine cutting and polishing, surface gold film sputtering, electroforming zero-stress nickel or nickel-cobalt alloy lens, lens and mandrel separation and the like. One of the difficulties is the high precision, low stress electroforming nickel cobalt lens technology.
After plating a layer of gold film on the surface of the ultra-smooth mandrel by magnetron sputtering, the ultra-smooth mandrel is required to be immersed into nickel or nickel cobalt electroplating solution for electroforming, and the electroformed lens is required to meet the requirements of low stress, high precision and high strength. If the stress of the electroformed layer (lens) is too large in the electroforming process, on one hand, the lens can be deformed, and the surface type precision can not meet the design requirement; on the other hand, too much stress on the lens can affect its mechanical properties. It is therefore important to control the stress of the electroformed layer (lens) during electroforming.
In conventional industrial electroforming stress control, a part of the electroforming solution is usually taken out of an industrial electroforming tank before electroforming, and stress test is performed, and the measured stress is not in-line stress. On one hand, the accuracy of stress control in the mode is poor, the industrial electroforming time is often more than 24 hours, and the stress test time is generally 1 hour, so that the stress test can only represent the stress condition of the industrial electroforming in the early stage, and the stress change of the industrial electroforming in the later stage can only be predicted empirically; on the other hand, because the electroforming liquid is analyzed after each electroforming is finished, the electroforming of the next mandrel can be performed after the waiting stress test result comes out; secondly, the flexibility of stress test is poor, and the method can not monitor the stress in the electroforming process in real time and correct the electroforming parameters in the electroforming process properly.
Meanwhile, the current common online stress test method is mainly a cathode bending method, in-situ observation is carried out on a cathode test piece through an auxiliary means, and stress calculation is carried out on observed data by applying a Stoney formula. However, in many methods, the effect of edge effects on cathode stress testing is not considered. In fact, during electroforming, the electric lines of force at the edges of the cathode test piece are denser, the current density is greater, and the measurement of the cathode stress is more affected, which is greater when the coating thickness is thicker, due to the influence of the edge effect.
In addition, the pH of the electroforming solution is constantly changing during the electroforming process. Generally, the buffer is contained in the electroforming solution, but the surface area of the cathode mandrel is large, and the hydrogen evolution reaction of the cathode consumes more hydrogen ions, so that the pH of the electroforming solution is raised. And during each electroforming, the surface area of the cathode mandrel is different, the adopted current density is different, and the speed of pH rise is also different. In order to maintain the pH of the electroforming solution unchanged, the pH of the electroforming solution needs to be monitored in real time during the electroforming process. However, the electric field in the electroforming solution affects the zero potential of the pH electrode, so that the measured value of the pH electrode fluctuates and deviates greatly, and therefore the pH electrode cannot be directly inserted into the electroforming solution for measurement, and the electroforming solution needs to be taken out and then the measurement is performed.
