Abstract
An anodic belt electroplating apparatus utilizes a flexible, electrolyte permeable belt anode with porous outer belt covering that provides flexible operation parameters. The perforate belt anode such as of valve metal in mesh form, has an electrocatalytic coating and an electrolyte-containing wrap for the outer belt covering. Processing parameters can provide desirable electroplate, such as of metal coils electroplated in strip form through an at least substantially flat and horizontal electroplate zone, at highly desirable plating speeds as well as providing careful control over plate composition and deposition thickness.
