UNIT FOR CHROME-PLATING SMALL - SIZED ARTICLES Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: electroplating. SUBSTANCE: pressurized electrolyte can flow around the articles with increased intensity. In operation the distance between the articles and anode is reduced. The split anode may be used with different group potentials. In operation the electrolyte is purified on the closed cycle. The articles can be chrome-plates and washed in one and the same unit. Loading and discharge is accomplished by suitable mechanisms. In the operating position the body of unit has its rotational axis disposed at an optimum angle of 30 so as to provide for making the body of two cones. Polyhedral cross-section achieved enables omitting forge-rolling. EFFECT: simpler construction and higher quality of coating along with an increased thickness of the latter, extended technological possibilities on the closed cycle.
