Description
- The present invention relates to a reinforced and thickened mold insert and a method of manufacturing the same and particularly to a reinforced and thickened mold insert adopted for use in precise electroforming and a method of manufacturing the same.
- Electroforming is an electroplating technique to fabricate a thick layer of metal shell mold on a mandrel, then peel off the metal shell from the mandrel to become a duplicate of the mandrel and finish by machining and trimming. It can be used to produce precise and complicated molds in large quantity that are difficult to fabricate by conventional machining or take too much manpower.
- The duplicate of the mandrel may reach the precision of 2.5 μm and the surface resolution can reach 0.02˜0.05 μm. Hence this molding technique is desirable for fabricating molds used in production of CDs, reflection sheets of car lights, light guiding plates of liquid crystal displays and the like.
- However, in the conventional electroforming techniques, depositing speed of electroforming metal is in the range of 0.06˜0.5 mm/hr. Fabrication time could last weeks or even months. Moreover, the corners of the mandrel have uneven electric line distribution. This could result in uneven thickness of the electroformed shell and make machining in the follow on processes difficult.
- Therefore the present invention aims to provide a reinforced and thickened mold insert and a method of manufacturing the same to overcome the aforesaid problems.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a reinforced and thickened mold insert and a method of manufacturing the same to enhance the mechanical strength of the mold insert and increase the bonding power between the thickened layer and the electroformed layer.
- In order to achieve the foregoing object, the reinforced and thickened mold insert according to the present invention mainly has a plurality of protrusive coupling reinforced sections on the surface of an electroformed metal mold insert, then forms a thickened metal layer on the electroformed metal mold insert and the coupling reinforced sections by metal spraying. The coupling reinforced sections are planted in the thickened metal layer, thus the bonding power between the electroformed metal mold insert and the thickened metal layer increases. It also resolves the problems of uneven thickness of the electroformed layer and deformation of the electroformed layer caused by a thermal effect during metal spraying for thickening.
- The method for manufacturing the reinforced and thickened mold insert mainly includes the following procedures:
- First, provide an original mandrel and submerge the original mandrel in an electroforming solution to form an electroformed metal mold insert.
- Next, form a plurality of coupling reinforced sections on the surface of the electroformed metal mold insert to increase the structural strength between the electroformed metal mold insert and a thickened metal layer formed in the later process. As the coupling reinforced sections are formed on the surface of the electroformed metal mold insert and are planted in the thickened metal layer, the bonding power between the electroformed metal mold insert and the thickened metal layer increases.
- Then separate the original mandrel and the electroformed metal mold insert. Finally form a thickened metal layer on the electroformed metal mold insert and the coupling reinforced sections by metal spraying to finish the fabrication.
- The coupling reinforced sections may be integrally formed on the electroformed metal mold insert or may be screws bonded to the electroformed metal mold insert as long as they are protrusive from the electroformed metal mold insert.
- There is no limitation on the material of the electroformed metal mold insert and the thickened metal layer. When in use, a complete mold may be formed by fastening the thickened mold insert of the invention to a mold seat.
- Before proceeding the metal spraying, an interface metal layer may be formed on the electroformed metal mold insert and the coupling reinforced sections by metal spraying according to requirements to increase the key bonding strength of the two. Moreover, a metal mesh may be added in the thickened metal layer to increase the tensile strength in horizontal direction.

key bonding layer 20 for a duration of 75 minutes to form azinc layer 40. - Refer to
FIG. 3 for embodiment 3 of the structure of the reinforced and thickened mold insert according to the invention. - The process of embodiment 3 is largely like that of the embodiment 2, however, instead of directly depositing silver paste on the
nickel shell 10, M5 screws 60 are bonded to the nickel shell on selected locations through silver paste. Then they are submerged in an electroforming solution to deposit nickel. Finally, zinc is sprayed on thekey bonding layer 20 for a duration of 75 minutes to form azinc layer 40. Thescrews 60 function as the coupling reinforced sections do. - Its process is largely like that of embodiment 3 previously discussed. However, copper is sprayed on the
key bonding layer 20 for a duration of 65 minutes to form acopper layer 30. - The process of the comparison examples 1 and 2 is substantially like the ones illustrated in embodiments 1 and 2. However, the

elongation rate 50 mm/minute. The test results are shown in Table 2.TABLE 2 Average Tensile strength (psi) Rupture condition Embodiment 1 583 Copper layer damaged Embodiment 2 536 Zinc layer and nickel shell separated Embodiment 3 575 Nickel shell and zinc layer separated partially Embodiment 4 510 Copper layer damaged Comp.

sections 50 orscrews 60 have a tensile strength between 510˜583 psi, and are greater than 359 and 425 psi of the comparison examples. In addition, the rupture conditions show that for embodiments 1 and 4, only thecopper layer 30 are damaged, and the bonding between thenickel shell 10 and the nickel aluminumkey bonding layer 20 remains intact. - For embodiments 3 and 3, separation occurs to the
nickel shell 10 and thezinc layer 40, but the tensile strength is much greater than the comparison examples 1 and 2. The test results show that, in the comparison examples 1 and 2, thenickel shell 10 or nickel aluminumkey bonding layer 20 is completely separated from the thickenedmetal layer - Refer to
FIG. 4 for embodiment 5 of the structure of the reinforced and thickened mold insert according to the invention. - The process for embodiment 5 is largely like that of embodiment 1, however, the

FIG. 5 for embodiment 6 of the structure of the reinforced and thickened mold insert according to the invention. - The process for embodiment 5 is largely like that of embodiment 1, however, while forming the thickened copper layer, a
metal mesh 70 is soldered by electroforming around the mushroom-shaped coupling reinforcedsections 50, to increase the tensile strength in the horizontal direction. - Although no tensile tests have been conducted for the embodiments 5 and 6, based on their structure, their strengthening effect must be greater than the comparison examples.
- Besides forming the protrusive coupling reinforced section on the
nickel shell 10 to increase the bonding power between the electroformed metal mold insert and the thickened metal layer, another approach is to form a plurality of indented troughs on thenickel shell 10 by electroforming.
