Apparatus for electrochemically processing metallic surfaces

摘要

An electrolytic cell which between the anode and cathode includes a diaphragm dividing the electrolytic cell into two chambers. In one of these chambers there is provided an electrolyte which contains the suspension of electrically conductive bodies. The apparatus includes a treatment chamber for workpieces to be arranged in a contact-free manner with regard to the cathode and anode. A conveying line for the electrolyte containing the electrically conductive bodies extends between on one hand that chamber of the electrolytic cell in which the electrode charging the electrically conductive bodies is arranged, and on the other hand the treatment chamber. One portion of said conveying line outside the electrolytic cell includes a porous wall which is permeable for the electrolyte but retains electrically conductive bodies. The annular chamber formed by a surrounding outer pipe and porous wall which surrounds the conveying line communicates with the chamber containing the counter-electrode in the electrolytic cell for exchanging electrolyte.
