CHEMICAL NICKEL PLATING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus has tank, temperature regulating system with electric heater and temperature sensor, solution level regulating system, and solution amending mechanism including two vessels. One vessel is filled with amending solution and other vessel is filled with water. Vessels are communicated with tank through pump connected with vessels and level measurer. Sensor of level measurer is placed in working solution vessel. Tank is made in the form of truncated pyramid with wall inclined at an angle of 70 deg ≤ α ≤ 90 deg to base. Bodies of electric heaters are manufactured from titanium-based alloy and arranged at distance of 150-200 mm from tank bottom. Electrode located in tank is connected with negative pole of current source. Positive pole is connected to bodies of electric heaters.

EFFECT: stabilized chemical nickel plating process and increased efficiency.
