<p>The invention relates to a method of providing a metal bearing component with a texture by electrochemical machining. According to the present invention a ribbon is provided between an electrode and the metal bearing component. The ribbon is flexible, substantially non-conductive and provided with holes. While the ribbon is in direct contact with the metal bearing piece, current is passed between the electrode and the metal bearing component. The pattern of the holes in the ribbon determines the pattern electrochemically machined on the surface of the metal bearing component. According to a preferred embodiment the ribbon is an endless belt. The invention also relates to an apparatus for electrochemical treatment comprising a ribbon provided with holes.</p> |
