<p>In the electroplating of metals, the use of anodes having surfaces that have been increased by means of protuberances on the faces thereof increases the possibility of short-circuits occurring by reducing the anode-cathode distance, said protuberances being intended to improve current efficiency. A similar effect is produced with the use of anode meshes which increase the possibility of short-circuits occurring, along with the associated disastrous consequences, owing to the flexibility thereof. The present invention solves these problems by increasing the surface of the anode with the provision of multiple perforations that extend through the planar surfaces thereof or through the use of a reinforcing frame when anode meshes are employed.</p> |
