Calculation of stress in electrodeposits from the curvature of a plated strip

Abstract

Formulas are derived for the calculation of stress in electrodeposits from the curvature developed in a plated strip. All the formulas are derived from the fundamentals of the theory of elasticity and the relationships among the various formulas are showll. Simplifi ed formulas are derived and their limits of applicability demon strated. Correction factors for a number of variables and sp ecific formulas for diffeJ'ent experimental p ro cedures are presen ted.
