A method and apparatus 1200 for plating articles comprises providing a plating solution comprising a liquid medium and plating the articles such that the precursor species forms a metallic layer. An electrode 1203 that acts as a cathode is included which extends into the barrel of the rotary tumbler and a further electrode 1205 (that may be in the form of a basket) which acts as an anode in the plating process. Further disclosed is a method for plating articles, wherein before or during plating the plating solution is subjected to an ultrasound (ultrasonic) treatment and plating is carried out while the articles are within a receptacle that moves continuously 1202. A temperature transmitter device 1206 and a temperature controller 1207 may also be used. A stirrer 1209 and a high shear pump 1210 can be included in the apparatus. Luminescent particles may also be included in the plating process. |
