Abstract: Electroplating station (S) has a mesh (11) located at a throat section (12) of passageway (4) shortly before the start of the guide (7) thereby to cause and/or enhance the production of vortices by guide (7) and/or the serrations. At its narrowest, throat (12) is about 5 x 10 -3 metres across. The mesh is a polyester mesh N8 type of 34.6 threads 10" 2 metres with a thread diameter of 1.04 x 10 -4 metres giving a maximum open area of 38 %. In a variant, a mesh (13) is located further upstream in passageway (4) as an alternative and/or as an addition to mesh (11). When both meshes (11 and 13) are provided, they can be identical or of different characteristics, for example mesh (13) may be of a coarser form with a greater open area and/or finer thread diameter, and mesh (11) may be of a finer form with less open area and/or thicker thread diameter. In further variants, mesh (11) and/or mesh (13) may extend over only part of the passageway (4) or may be replaced by a rigid grid, a series of elongate bars with corresponding elongate apertures, or other orificed structure.

Abstract: A method of electro-plating comprises providing an anode current for a target, applying an electron beam to the surface of a target and passing electrolyte between said target and anode, thereby to deposit material on said target. An electron beam gun (34) directs an electron beam (35) onto web (27) while anode (21) provides a current thereby depositing material on the web (27).
