ELECTROFORMING DIE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, APPLICATION THEREOF AND ELECTROFORMED PRODUCTS

摘要

The invention relates to an electroforming die (10) for the electroforming of products, which die comprises a structure of interconnected, electrically conductive metal die tracks, the structure comprising a random, disordered network (32) of electrically conductive die tracks. A network of this type can be obtained, for example, by the preferential electroplating of (micro)cracks (18) in an electroformed metal surface (20), such as of a chromium layer (16). A method for the production of the die, and its application, as well as products (42) electroformed therewith, such as printing screens and battery electrodes, are also described.
