Process for coating steel pipelines comprises electrolytically applying anode spheres made of a material having a high specific electrical resistance to a flexible wire used as the anode

摘要

Process for coating components comprises electrolytically applying anode spheres to a flexible wire used as the anode. The spheres are made of a material having a high specific electrical resistance which guarantees a predetermined distance of the anode and/or anode spheres from the component to be coated. An Independent claim is also included for electropolishing components comprises applying cathode spheres to a flexible wire used as the cathode. The spheres are made of a material having a high specific electrical resistance which guarantees a predetermined distance of the cathode and/or cathode spheres from the component to be coated. Preferred Features: The anode/cathode moves during the coating or polishing process and touches the component to be processed. In the coating process, an adhesive layer containing nickel is applied followed by a second coating layer made of other materials.
