To improve the layer uniformity of a complex electroformed cathode,a new anode profile design method was proposed. The precise shape of anode,corresponding to the cathode of an electroforming cone,was optimized using ANSYS finite element software. The effects of auxiliary cathode parameters,with optimized shaped anode,on the electric field of a cathode surface was simulated simultaneously. The simulation results indicate that the design and optimization method can improve uniformity of the electroforming la...
