Description
Purpose: Manufacturing of thin-walled antenna/waveguide devices and solar concentrating systems, creation of optimum antenna/waveguide structures and minimum-weight solar concentrating systems.
Essence of the technology: Multipurpose use of electroforming current-induced crystallization of a metal from a supersaturated near-cathode electrolyte layer). The surface of the electrodeposit is a precise replica of that of the matrix cathode, and a large number of identical products with a high-quality reflective surface can be made.
Advantages: High manufacturing accuracy, small mass, controlled uniformity of the material distribution in the electrodeposit (structural homogeneity of the material). Possibility of making complex-structure antenna/waveguide deices and solar concentrating systems, which cannot be made by other technologies. Assurance of the required strength, stiffness and longevity. The technologies fall into waste less and energy-saving ones.
Approbation: Parabolic mirror antennas and solar concentrators (diameter 0.5 - 1.6 m, variable thickness 0.2 - 0.5 mm); waveguides with lengthwise variable cross-section; cone antennas with beam-shaping ribs made and pyramid antennas; small parabolic concentrators for solar plants and the apparatus to make them (dimensions: height (3 - 5)10-2 m, the smaller base is a circle of diameter (6 -18)10-3 m, the larger base is a hexagon or a circle, mass 4.5 - 6 g).
Services: Transfer of documentation for methods of manufacturing of antenna/waveguide devices and solar concentrating systems including (a) flowcharts specifying the operation sequence and operating conditions (temperature, electrolyte composition, etc.); (b) design and production documentation for products and equipment Development of processes for the manufacturing of new complex products (seamless pipes, diaphragms, bellows, floats for oil storage metering systems).
