Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The experimental apparatuses and conditions developed in this research were confirmed to reproduce the engulfment of particles into cathode. The nodules were clearly formed on the large agglomerated particles. Increasing the fluid intensity decreased the size of crystalline grains of copper and improved the flatness of deposition surface. It was made clear that, compared to the Al2O3 particles, the Ag particles were easier to be engulfed and the agglomerate was easier to become origin of radial growth of copper crystals, leading to the nodule. It was shown that higher intensity of flow is effective to suppress the engulfment of the agglomerates.
