Regulating quantity of metal electrolytically deposited on travelling band

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Process for regulating the quantity of metal electrolytically deposited on a continuously travelling band to be coated in a coating plant comprising a plurality of tanks filled with electrolyte. In each tank there is a conductive bridge carrying anode forming metal bars. The process comprises determining experimental curves of the yield as a function of the strength of the supply current at each bridge of the plant and, collecting indications relating to which bridges are in operation and which out of operation, analog values of the current strength for each bridge and of the maximum strength of the current for all of the bridges are established. The velocity of the travel of the band is …
