Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a perforated nickel frame, by electroforming.
  • Such perforated frames are in particular used as printing frames, whether they are called “flat frame” prints, or so-called “rotary frame” prints.
  • the invention relates to a manufacturing process, as described and proposed by patent US-A-2,226,384, the content of which is incorporated into the present description.
  • US-A-4,478,688 describes a method of manufacturing a perforated frame, according to which the thickening of the metal deposit is achieved by the passage of the electrolyte through a perforated anode.
  • Alveoli the shape and dimensions of which correspond to the meshes of the perforated frame to be obtained, are formed on the surface of the mandrel by different etching processes, such as chemical attack, seam etching, or electronic etching.
  • the hollow opening of the cells is filled with a non-conductive resin leaving uncovered the edge or edge of the same cells, remaining conductive.
  • a first deposit of nickel is carried out on the support mandrel, for a limited time, so as to obtain a nickel skeleton whose perforations correspond substantially to the original cells. of the mandrel.
  • the duration of this first stage is therefore chosen to limit the growth of the nickel deposit from the edges of the cells, preferably upwards.
  • the skeleton is separated from the mandrel, for example by simple cooling causing differential expansion and therefore detachment of the skeleton relative to the mandrel.
  • a second deposit of nickel is made on the skeleton. This additional contribution of metal envelops and strengthens all the nickel cords of the skeleton, to obtain the final perforated frame.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method as described above, making it possible to strengthen the skeleton resulting from the first step, both by respecting essentially the dimensions of the perforations of said skeleton, and by limiting the reduction in the free cross section of the meshes. of the perforated frame obtained.
  • the present invention also relates to an electronic method, which remains simple in its implementation, and in particular does not resort to sophisticated technological solutions such as a pulsed supply current.
  • the pyridinium compound is used at a rate of 60 to 250 g per 10,000 Axh preferably at the same time as a tension reducer, as described above, in the proportions of 10 to 500 g per 10,000 Axh.
  • a matrix or mandrel-support 1 comprising cells 2, the opening of which has been closed with a non-conductive material, such as a resin 3.
  • a non-conductive material such as a resin 3.
  • the edge or edge 4 of the same cells remains electrically conductive.
  • a nickel skeleton 5 is obtained, comprising perforations 7 corresponding substantially to the openings of the original alvoles 2. This approximate correspondence is obtained by an appropriate limitation of the duration of the first electrochemical step.
  • the skeleton 5 is detached from the support mandrel 1.
  • the skeleton 5 is immersed in a second bath 8 for nickel electrolysis, added with a pyridinium compound according to the invention.
  • the bath is preferably made to circulate in the direction of the arrows B, that is to say parallel to the anode 6, and therefore to a generator of the skeleton 5 in the form of a cylinder in the present case.
  • the speed of circulation of the bath is between 5 and 10 cm / second; in correspondence, the arrows A indicate the direction of the current lines from the anode 6 to the cathode 5. These lines are perpendicular to the cathode skeleton, as well as to the direction of movement of the electrolysis bath.
  • the circulation mode of the second electrochemical bath selected according to the invention provides various advantages.
  • the ion exchange between the anode (s) (6) and the cathode constituted by the nickel skeleton (5) can increase significantly, increasing the intensity of the current.
  • all the impurities liable to detach from the anodes or from the skeleton-cathode are entrained outside of the latter.
  • the nickel is gradually deposited around the cords 4a of the skeleton 5, passing inside the perforations 7, and circulating along the internal and external walls of the skeleton 5.
  • the perforated frame obtained has a very characteristic mesh profile, represented in FIG. 4 as regards a cross section of the nickel beads. according to the line AA of FIG. 5, and in FIG. 5, in solid line, as regards the flat shape of the mesh, on the inner side of the perforated cylindrical frame.
  • nickel beads are obtained having both their upper part and their lower part bulges 12 and 13, directed in the direction of the height, these bulges being connected together by rounded parts 11 and 14.
  • the perforations obtained according to the invention actually have this flat shape generally hexagonal in shape, but with a rounded profile at all points, sort of inscribing the hexagonal profile.
  • This is shown by the solid line 15, delimiting each perforation of the frame, with respect to the dotted line 16, corresponding to the flat shape finally obtained with a second electrochemical bath added in the traditional manner with a primary and secondary glosser. , all the other electrochemical parameters remaining equal elsewhere.
  • the broken line 17 shows the flat shape of the skeleton openings resulting from the first electrolysis step, before electrochemical treatment according to the second step of the process.
  • the process according to the invention is well suited to depositing nickel from a nickel anode containing sulfur (nickel S). However, it seems preferable to use sulfur-free nickel to limit internal tensions.
  • the method according to the invention also applies good at making flat perforated frames than cylindrical frames.
