Abstract
A system for producing continuous lengths of electroformed metal foil or strip having enhanced ductility and a moderately refined grain structure is described. The system includes an anode and a cathode having a moving plating surface at least partially immersed within an electrolytic solution. To obtain the aforementioned improvements in foil or strip properties, the electrolytic solution is sonically agitated in the vicinity of the moving plating surface. Preferably, one or more ultrasonic generators are used to agitate the electrolyte. The generators may be mounted in a variety of locations including within the electrolyte flow path, within one of the anode and the cathode, or in contact with a surface of either the anode or the cathode.
