A plating apparatus () is disclosed including a plating tank (), cathodes (to), a holding mechanism (), at least one anode (), and a rotation mechanism (). The plating tank () contains an annularly or helically wound substrate () together with a plating solution. The cathodes (to) are placed inside the plating tank (). The holding mechanism () holds the cathodes (to) at positions electrically connected to the outer periphery of the substrate () and holds the substrate () via the cathodes (to). The anode () is placed at least on the inner periphery side of the substrate () held by the holding mechanism (). The rotation mechanism () rotates at least either the substrate () and cathodes (to) held by the holding mechanism () or the anode (), or both, around the axis of the wound substrate ().

Plating apparatus, plating method, and method for producing wire rod having the surface plated

A wear-resistant coating film is disclosed that can maintain high wear resistance for a long period of time even when it is subjected to repetitive wear, and a method for producing the film, as well as a wear-resistant component. The wear-resistant coating filmincludes a plated layer, lump parts, and a coat layer. The plated layer and the coat layer are laminated, and each of the lump parts is formed of a single particleand/or an assembly of particles. The lump partsare held by the plated layerand are disposed to protrude from the plated layer. The coat layeris formed to coat the surface of the plated layer, the lump partshave flat portions, and the flat portionsare placed on the same plane as the surface of the coat layer
