Small-Scale Pattern Size Control during Metal Electropolishing

چکیده
In our previous work, we have studied the pattern formation during the electropolishing of both isotropic and anisotropic materials. Both models predict stable hexagonal and striped patterns and are in qualitative agreement with experiments. In this paper, we study the smallscale pattern size control during electropolishing. Our study shows that applied voltage, surface diffusion and surface desorption coefficients play a key role in decreasing the pattern size.

Precipitation and surface adsorption of metal complexes during electropolishing. Theory and characterization with X-ray nanotomography and surface tension isotherms.
Electropolishing of metals often leads to supersaturation conditions resulting in precipitation of complex compounds. The solubility diagrams and Gibbs adsorption isotherms of the electropolishing products are thus very important to understand the thermodynamic mechanism of precipitation of reaction products. Electropolishing of tungsten wires in aqueous solutions of potassium hydroxide is used...
