Copper or Stainless Steel Circular Frames Bonded to Our Electroformed Nickel, Copper, or Gold Mesh
Solutions for Separation and Filtration of Light, Sound and Gas Without the Use of Adhesives, Epoxies or Welds
Copper or Stainless Steel Frames Range in Size from 0.838” Outer/0.640” Inner Diameter to 6.743” Outer/6.007” Inner Diameter (see diagram).
Precision Eforming has developed a method to fuse nickel, gold and copper meshes to any conductive metal frame. Our proprietary process allows us to bond our mesh products without the use of adhesives, epoxies or welds of any kind, eliminating contamination issues and material compatibility concerns.
Our bonded mesh products are used globally in numerous applications, including imaging, medical products, space sciences and energy analyzing / filtering. It is the combination of our flexibility in altering aperture size, thickness and bonding it to your custom frame that enables us to increase efficiencies in your process. Our unique materials that are available in copper, gold or nickel alloys, can be matched to your exclusive process and product requirements.
- Introduces no epoxies, adhesives or foreign materials
- Produces a tightly stretched screen
- Mesh is produced to specific transmission & thicknesses
- Can be flashed with gold, copper or nickel
Customers often ask how to attach or adhere our metal mesh to a metal frame without using glue, epoxy, welds, solder paste or other adhesives that will compromise their end product. We have the solution.
Our Method
Like additive manufacturing, electroforming is an additive process by growing layers of metal on to a base form, and then removing it, to create a durable precision mesh.
Our proprietary process, a form of electroplating, allows us to bond our manufactured nickel, black nickel coated, gold and copper meshes to these circular copper or stainless steel frames without the use of adhesives, epoxies or welds of any kind. This eliminates cross-contamination issues and material compatibility concerns. All without sacrificing rigidity, durability, or ease of use and maintenance.
The finished product can be flash coated with gold, copper, nickel or black nickel, to provide you with the metallic properties and uniformity needed for your process.
Benefits of Electro-Bonded Mesh
- Circular frames offered in your choice of copper or stainless steel in a range of sizes.
