GB/T 14896, "Terminology for Special Processing Machine Tools," is my country's terminology standard for the field of special processing machine tools, regulating the terminology of special processing machine tools. Standardize the use of vocabulary and terminology in the standards to ensure that people have a common understanding of the main concepts in the standards for special processing machine tools. GB/T 14896, "Terminology for Special Processing Machine Tools," is the general outline for terminology related to special processing machine tools, based on the sub-specialties within the field. It is proposed to consist of 13 parts.

1.Basic Terminology. The purpose is to define the processing methods, names, parameters, and basic components of special-purpose machine tools. This terminology.

1 Scope

GB/T 14896.10-2025 is the Chinese national standard on non-traditional machines - terminology - part 10: electroforming machines, in the field of manufacturing engineering. The /T suffix marks it as a recommended standard: it is not compulsory by itself, but it becomes binding as soon as a contract, a tender or a customer specification calls it up - which in practice is how most foreign buyers meet it. It was issued on 2 December 2025 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of China, and has been in force since 1 July 2026. Classification: ICS 25.080.99, CCS J59. This page is published from the official record of the standard held by the Chinese standards administration: the identification, the dates, the classification and the issuing body are taken from there. The clause text, the tables and the numeric limits are in the document itself, which is delivered complete in English translation.

This document defines the processing methods, names, parameters and processes of electroforming machine tools, as well as the terminology for major components. This document applies to all types of electroforming machine tools (including equipment).

3 Processing Method

3.1 Electroforming; EF A processing method that uses the principle of cathodic electrochemical deposition to manufacture structures or parts. [Source: GB/T 14896.1-2025, 3.4]

Note. "Electrochemical deposition" is hereinafter referred to as "electrodeposition".

3.2 Electroforming is an electroforming method in which both the anode and cathode remain stationary during the electrodeposition process.

3.3 Electroforming is a method that utilizes the scanning motion of the anode.

3.4 Electroforming is an electroforming method in which parallel-placed cathodes and/or anodes are in a reciprocating linear motion during the electrodeposition process.

3.5 Electroforming is an electroforming method in which the cathode is in a rotating state during the electrodeposition process.

3.6 Roll-to-roll electroforming An electroforming method for forming foils, structures, or parts by means of winding.

3.7 jet electroforming A method of electroforming using an electrolyte jet ejected from the anode.
