Title: Akihiko Hatamura: Innovator in Electroforming and Electrocasting Technologies
Introduction
Akihiko Hatamura is a prominent inventor based in Uji, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the fields of electroforming and electrocasting, holding a total of 3 patents. His innovative methods have advanced the capabilities of metal deposition technologies.
Latest Patents
Hatamura's latest patents include an electroforming method and an electrocasting method. The electroforming method involves fabricating a mold with a cavity formed in an insulating layer placed on a conductive base material. This mold is then immersed in an electrolyte bath, where a voltage is applied to electrodeposit metal onto the cavity's bottom surface. Specific parameters are defined for the growth of the metal layer based on the cavity's width and the height of the head space above the metal layer.
The electrocasting method allows for the control of the shape of the surface opposite to the electrodeposited surface on the mold. This process involves forming an insulating layer on the side wall faces of a cavity and the outer wall face of a conductive mold. The mold is placed in an electrolysis tank, where voltage is applied, and metal is electrodeposited, ensuring that a space is left above the metal layer.
