Need some advice on copper sulfate for copper stripping
Hey everyone, I’m looking into using DC current to strip a copper coating from an MS (mild steel) base.
I have a few questions about using copper sulfate (CuSO₄) for this:
* What concentration of copper sulfate would be a good starting point? * Do I need to add sulfuric acid? If so, why? * How do current density and temperature affect the stripping process? * How can I avoid damaging the steel once the copper is removed? * Is there anything I should test before deciding on the electrolyte composition?
If anyone has experience with this kind of process, I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks! #diy
