Continuous electro:deposition of metals

摘要

Continuous electrodeposition of metals at high current densities in vertical cells. Strip is fed continuously through vertical cells via rollers in a tank of electrolyte. The strip is made cathodic by electrical connection through these rollers whilst anodes are connected via bus-bars. The electrolyte is pumped in counterflow through the cells with an intense movement by means of intake tubes fed by an overflow in the tank. The ion concn. and pH can be adjusted to give suitable conditions. A device for putting this process into operation is also claimed.
