    摘要: A system and method for producing a rigid, heat-resistant part, such as a superalloy, via electrodeposition. The method can include the steps of coating a secondary alloy particulate with a superior alloy, forming a pre-coated particulate, dispensing a quantity of the pre-coated particulate into a container of an electrolytic solution, and applying a charge to the electrolytic solution such that the pre-coated particulate is electrodeposited onto a cathode or an external casing of the cathode. The pre-coated particulate can include particulate of non-uniform size and/or shape. The secondary alloy particulate is protected in the catalytic solution by the superior alloy coated thereon, such as nickel, iron, cobalt, and/or copper. The method also includes a step of vibrating or agitating the electrolytic solution before and/or during applying the charge to the electrolytic solution for even distribution of the pre-coated particulate onto the cathode or an external casing thereof.

    摘要: The invention relates to a process for producing copper foil by electrolytic deposition of copper metal on a rotating drum cathode and, in particular, to the means for dissolving the copper to be deposited in the process. In the process, copper is electrolytically deposited on a rotating drum cathode, which is partially immersed in an electrolyte solution contained in a plating tank; the deposited copper layer is peeled off the part of the drum cathode that is not immersed in the electrolyte solution to obtain the copper foil; an insoluble anode is used as counterelectrode to the drum cathode; the electrolyte solution contains copper ions, organic additives and an Fe2+/Fe3+ redox system; the concentration of copper ions in the electrolyte solution is maintained constant by passing the electrolyte solution through a copper dissolution unit; in the copper dissolution unit, the electrolyte solution is in contact with an auxiliary anode and an auxiliary cathode; copper metal and an oxygen-containing gas are introduced into the copper dissolution unit; the auxiliary anode is in contact with the copper metal; the oxygen-containing gas contacts the surface of the copper metal; the copper metal continuously dissolves into the electrolyte solution by being oxidized by the Fe3+ component of the Fe2+/Fe3+ redox system.
