On Electropolishing of Copper Alloys

Water diffusion coefficients during copper electropolishing

Cu electropolishing was studied using a rotating disc electrode in a variety of phosphoric acid-based electrolytes, including several with ethanol and other species added as diluents. Diluents allow a wider range of water concentrations and electrolyte viscosities to be accessed and also reduce the removal rate during Cu electropolishing, simplifying possible application to damascene processing...

Wettability of Brazing Filler Metals on Copper and Copper Alloys

The possibility of alloying can not be avoided at the interface between molten brazing filler metal and base metal in brazing, so the wettability of brazing filler metal can not be easily explained theoretically. We used the original apparatus for wettability test and investigated the relation between the wettability of brazing filler metals of Ag-P-Cu and Ag-Cu-Zn-Cd systems on copper and the ...

Automatic electropolishing of cobalt chromium dental cast alloys with a fuzzy logic controller

Cavities and ageing leads to a higher demand for robust and durable dentures. Cobalt chromium dental cast alloys fulfill these requirements. After the casting, the alloys have to be thoroughly cleaned in an electrochemical dissolution bath. In the existing technology an expert has to control the polishing process. In this paper we present a fuzzy logic controller with 16 fuzzy rules, which comp...
