6 Claims. (Cl. 219-69) (Granted under Title 35, US. Code (1952), see. 266) The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
This invention concerns the electrolytic shaping of metals.
The principal object of this invention is the provision of a method of electrolytic shaping for shaping metals in uniform and accurate fashion.
An object of this invention is the provision of a meth- 0d of electrolytic shaping for shaping metals in desired configurations.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a method of electrolytic metal shaping initiated by pulsating direct current.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
Fig. 1 is a preferred embodiment of the electrolytic metal shaping apparatus of the present invention; and
Fig. 2 is the electrolytic metal shaping apparatus of Fig. l modified to shape metals in cylindrical or related terms.
Fig. 1 is a preferred embodiment of the electrolytic metal shaping apparatus of the present invention.
An anode member 1 is comprised of metal, such as tungsten, which is to be shaped by the apparatus of the present invention. A cathode member 2 comprises an inert metal, such as lead. A potential difference of about 100 volts is impressed between the anode member 1 and the cathode member 2 by a D.C. source 3.
A high inductance 4 and a resistance 5 are placed in series between the anode'member 1 and the positive terminal of the D.C. source 3. A switch 6 is placed in series between the cathode member 2 and the negative terminal of the D.C. source 3. The anode member 1 and the cathode member 2 are immersed in an aqueous solution of electrolyte 7, such as sodium hydroxide. The electrolyte 7 is held in a tank 8 which is comprised of electrically non-conducting material. Such electrically non-conducting material may be selected from the many suitable materials known in the art.
The anode member. 1 is preferably of rod-like configuration and is supported in axially rotatable position by a bushing 14. The bushing 14 is mounted in an anode ring 13 which is comprised of electrically nonconducting material. An anode arm 9 is radially affixed at one end to the periphery of the anode ring 13 and is adjustably supported at its other end by an anode pivotal clamp joint 11. The anode pivotal clamp joint 11 is atfixed to a tank arm 1%. The tank arm 1% is adjustably supported, in substantially vertical position, by a tank pivotal clamp joint 12. The tank pivotal clamp joint 12 is afiixed to the tank 8.
The gear 15 is coaxially afiixed to the anode member 1 and engages the gear 16. The gear 16 is rotatably 2 controlled by the rotation control wheel 17 and the control shaft 18.
For applications where the anode member 1 may remain in substantially vertical poistion throughout the metal shaping operation, the anode may be supported by bushings affixed in a cylinder composed of electrically non-conducting material, such as glass.
The water-tight seal 19 permits the connection of an electrical conductor from the switch 6 to the cathode member 2, through a hole in the tank 8.
The entire unit operates as an electrolytic cell to shape the anode member 1 by the well known metal-removing action of electrolytic cells. The operation of the metal shaping apparatus of the present invention depends upon a pulsating direct current which is applied to the anode member 1.
The high inductance 1 produces a pulsating direct current of a voltage higher than that of the D.C. source 3. The pulsating direct current initiates the removal of material from the anode member 1. The distance between the anode member 1 and the cathode member 2 is not cirtical but is determined by adjustment during the operation of the apparatus.
Before the initiation of the electrolytic metal shaping operation the anode member 1 is properly positioned in the electrolyte 7, with reference to the cathode member 2, in accordance with the configuration to be produced. The tank pivotal clamp joint 1?. permits the positioning of the anode arm 9 at any point on the circumferences of a family of circles of varying radii originating from the axis of the tank arm it? as a radial center, and/or at any distance above the cathode member 2. The anode pivotal clamp joint 11 permits the anode arm 9 to be adjusted in length. The anode pivotal clamp joint 11 permits the anode arm 9 to be positioned at any point on the circumferences of a family of circles of varying radii originating from the various axes of rotation of said anode pivotal clamp joint.
The anode arm 9 may be adjusted in height by adjustment of the anode arm 1% The anode member 1 may thus be positioned as desired by adjustment of the anode arm 9, the tank arm 1t, and. of the anode pivotal clamp joint 11 and the tank pivotal clamp joint 12.
The anode member 1 is supported by the bushing 14 which is mounted in the insulating ring 13 in such a manner that it 'is rotatable about its own axis. Thus, if, in the course of the metal shaping operation, it is so desired, the anode member 1 may be axially rotated. This is accomplished by manual or mechanical rotation of the rotation control wheel 17, which rotates the gear 16 through the control shaft '18. The gear 16 engages the gear 15 to rotate the anode member 1 about its axis.
closing of the switch 6. The high voltage pulsating direct current produced by the high inductance 4 initiates the electrolytic action of the cellto remove material from the anode member 1. During the metal shaping operation the anode member "1 may be positioned, and/or rotated or positioned about its axis as necessary, without interrupting the operation. i
The apparatus of Fig. 1 is especially adaptable for the production of needle shapes from the anode member 1.
Fig. 2 is the electrolytic metal shaping apparatus of Fig. 1 modified to shape metals into cylindrical or related forms.
The components of Fig. 2 are identical to the corresponding components of Fig. 1 and are similarly num- 3 bered. Additional components are the control electrode member 20, the potentiometer 21, the water-tight seal 22, the control ring 23, the control arm 24 and the control pivotal clamp joint 25.
The control electrode member is immersed in the electrolyte '7 and coaxially positioned about the anode member 1 at a separation therefrom. The control electrode member 20 is in envelope form; in open or closed cylindrical or related configuration. The control electrode member 20 is supported in substantially vertical position by the control ring 23. The control arm is radially afiixed at one end to the periphery of the control ring 23 and is adjustably supported at its other end by the control pivotal clamp joint 25. The control pivotal clamp joint is affixed to the tank 8.
The control electrode member 20 may be supported in exactly the same way that the anode member 1 is supported, if it is necessary to position the control electrode as multifariously as the anode. Furthermore, either the anode member 1 or the control electrode H151. ber 20, or both the anode and the control electrode, may be rotatably supported and/or supported in a manner which permits great diversity in positioning. For purposes of clarity of illustration, only the anode member 1 is shown in Fig. 2 as being rotatably supported and supported for diversity in positioning.
A potentiometer '21 permits the control of the rela tion between the voltages applied to the cathode member 2 and the control electrode member 20. The potentiometer 21 operates in a manner well known in the art. The movable contact of the potentiometer 21 is joined to one terminal of the switch 6 by an electrical conductor. One fixed terminal of the potentiometer 21 is joined by an electrical conductor to the cathode member 2 and another terminal of the potentiometer is joined by an electrical conductor to the control electrode member 20.
The water-tight seal 22 permits the connection of an electrical conductor from the potentiometer 21 to the control electrode member 26*, through a hole in the tank 8.
If the control electrode member 20 is of cylindrical form it produces a uniform potential gradient about the anode member 1. The anode member 1 or the control electrode member 20 may be rotated about its axis to insure the production of a uniform finish on said anode member. If it is desired to shape the anode member it into other than uniform cylindrical form, any suitable envelope type of control electrode member 20 may be utilized in the apparatus of Fig. 2.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
