Abstract:
1. A method of removing a metal detail from a dielectric material of an article, comprising the steps of: applying a masking layer to a portion of a metal detail of an article to form a masked portion and an unmasked portion of the metal detail; placing the article in an electrolyte bath such that at least a part of the unmasked portion is exposed to the electrolyte bath, the metal detail being coupled to a dielectric material; placing an anode conducting wire in direct physical contact with the metal detail in the masked portion; positioning at least one cathode in the electrolyte bath in spaced relation to the metal detail; passing electrical current through the metal detail; and deplating the unmasked portion from the dielectric material in response to passing the electrical current through the metal detail.
