A metal plating apparatus for plating metal with zinc is provided with a rotating device and a plurality of stirring devices. The rotating device has a driving assembly and a rotating assembly. The driving assembly has a driving gear. The rotating assembly is connected with and controlled by the driving assembly. The rotating assembly has a sustaining pillar. A rotating seat is mounted on the sustaining pillar and engaged with the driving gear. The stirring devices is mounted on the rotating seat radially and spaced from each other. The metal plating apparatus improves productivity through an automatic process which shifts locations of the stirring devices by the rotating device and plates metal with a cooperation of peripheral supporting apparatus, and improves working efficiency through decreasing occupied space and the number of operating personnel.

Provided herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for a battery powered electroplating barrel and methods of use.

Methods for providing laminated coatings on metal articles using electroplating methods such as barrel plating, vibratory plating, rocker plating or other non-rack methods that involve movement of articles to be plated in a containment apparatus, as well as articles made from such processes. Embodiments of such processes involve mass-transfer modulation to provide compositionally modulated coatings.

A container such as a barrel or drum is provided for processing of solid material or parts with a liquid. The container is designed with grooves leading to holes or slots in the side that draw liquid into the container due to the rotation of the container when it is immersed in a tank of liquid. The holes or slots have a small dimension in the direction of rotation to minimize the probability of solid material coming out of the container. The fluid flow caused by the rotation serves to increase the rate of solution replacement inside the container as well as to keep the solid material from falling out through the holes or slots. The container disclosed is useful in processes in the plating, etching, leaching, and surface finishing industries.

A rotatable electroplating barrel for electroplating articles, the electroplating barrel having a proximal end with a centrally formed aperture and a distal end with at least one helical rib extending circumferentially along a longitudinal axis and between the proximal end and the distal end. The at least one helical rib, proximal end, and distal end of the electroplating barrel are formed integrally as a unitary piece and have a contiguous perforated outer wall configured to couple directly to the proximal and distal ends, extending therearound to enclose the at least one helical rib.
