Electroplating method for carbon fibers and apparatus therefor.

摘要

Performing continuous electric plating of a carbon fiber strand (5) in a plating bath (11), an electric current is supplied to the carbon fiber strand (5) in a liquid (12) or an inert gas outside the plating bath (11) and electric plating is performed in the plating bath using the carbon fiber strand (5) as the cathode. A metal-coated carbon fiber strand having substantially no uneven color tone and plating defects may be obtained.
