    摘要: There is provided an apparatus for plating a substrate as an object to be plated. The apparatus comprises an anode and a thief tunnel arranged to be located between the substrate and the anode when the substrate is placed to be opposed to the anode. The thief tunnel comprises a body placed away from the substrate and provided with an opening; a plurality of auxiliary electrodes provided in or to the body; and an ion exchange membrane configured to protect the auxiliary electrodes from a plating solution. The plurality of auxiliary electrodes are arranged along a circumference of the opening. At least one of the auxiliary electrodes is configured such that a voltage to be applied to the at least one of the auxiliary electrodes is controlled independently of a voltage to be applied to one or more auxiliary electrodes other than the at least one of the auxiliary electrodes.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method and system for producing antimicrobial compositions comprising transition metal ions which are generated electrolytically in aqueous solution; chelating agent and excipients; wherein the said ionic species thereby impart stability and longer shelf life and long-term efficacy. Owing to the neutral pH, colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-caustic, non-corrosive nature, the composition of example embodiments shall be used as surface disinfectant and food contact sanitizer and provides an unparalleled combination of high efficacy and low toxicity with instant kill and long-term efficacy. The specific combination of certain metals provides the ability to be extremely broad spectrum and thus works against virus, bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew and antibiotic resistant species as well.

    摘要: Described is a cathodic treatment for the electrodeposition of a metal layer securely adherent to the surface of stainless steel objects in an electrolytic bath comprising one or more metals belonging exclusively to the groups from 3 to 12 of the periodic table, excluding the elements nickel, cobalt, cadmium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold and rhenium, and methanesulfonic acid with a concentration of between 100 and 400 g/l.
    An object of the invention is also a process for applying a metal layer securely adherent to the surface of stainless steel objects, comprising a cathodic treatment as described above.
    Moreover, the invention further relates to an object comprising stainless steel equipped with a covering obtained by means of a process of the type described.

    摘要: The slow speed of conventional selective electroplating and L-PED (and further requirement of a series of masks in the case of selective electroplating) necessary to generate a metallic three-dimensional object makes conventional selective electroplating and L-PED not viable for mass manufacturing metallic three-dimensional objects. The presently disclosed technology generally utilizes electroplating and L-PED technologies with a screen electroplating process. The screen electroplating process disclosed herein is capable of achieving a faster throughput and a lower workpiece temperature than traditional 3D printing processes can provide, particularly traditional metal 3D printing processes. As a result, the presently disclosed screen electroplating process is able to achieve much faster results in printing a complex three-dimensional metallic structure using electroplating.

    摘要: A film formation apparatus for forming a metal film includes an anode, a solid electrolyte membrane disposed between the anode and a substrate that serves as a cathode, a power supply device that applies a voltage between the anode and the cathode, a solution container that contains a solution between the anode and the solid electrolyte membrane, the solution containing metal ions, and a pressure device that pressurizes the solid electrolyte membrane to the cathode side with a fluid pressure of the solution. The film formation apparatus includes an auxiliary cathode disposed in a peripheral area of the film formation region when the surface of the substrate is viewed in plain view, the auxiliary cathode having an electric potential lower than an electric potential of the anode.
