Abstract:

By combining the template technology,the friction technology and the numerically-controlled jet electrodeposition,a novel technology named frictional jet electrodeposition is developed to manufacture special-typed nickel metal products based on the principle of rapid prototyping.Experimental results show that(1) the template technology helps to improve the machining accuracy of jet electrodeposition and directly manufacture special-typed pro-ducts with complicated structure;(2) the polishing and impacting of hard particles effectively prevent the products form impurities adsorption and remove burrs and nodules;and(3) the developed technology integrates the advantages of jet electrodeposition and rapid prototyping,so that it effectively reduces equipment complexity and production cost and helps to manufacture metal parts with complicated shape,dense structure and smooth surface in a direct and rapid manner.

Key words: rapid prototyping, laminated template, jet electrodeposition, nickel
