Materials scientists prevent wear in production facilities in the electronics industry |
October 07, 2012
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are core components in every mobile phone, television and computer. One of the most important methods of fabricating large PCBs involves the precision electroplating of copper onto the PCB panel immersed in an acidic electrolyte bath. However, some of the titanium parts used in the electroplating process suffer substantial wear within a short space of time. A materials science research team has now developed a process process that enables the damaged components to repair themselves.
