What is it about?

Electrolytic metal coating processes are used to protect products from corrosion, decorative surface finish and other purposes. Electroplated coating has an important quantitative characteristic, which is coating thickness.

Why is it important?

Since the electric field in the electrolyte is not uniform, the coating thickness at different points on the surface of detail is different. An important task here is to apply a more uniform coating.

Perspectives

In practice, the task of uniform coating of parts in electroplating baths is of great importance. For achieve this, the electroplating baths are equipped with additional transverse insulating walls containing holes. In this case, the standard approach for the numerical solution of the equations of the mathematical model is not suitable. The proposed method is universal in this case.
