Abstract: An electrode (10) for performing an electrochemical treatment process has two cathode disks (35, 45) used as treatment locations for a component (55). By means of a return flow channel (23) formed parallel with the inflow bore (12), these two treatment locations are possible one behind the other, viewed in the axial direction of the electrode (10). Furthermore, the gaps (43, 45, 38, 39) located at both sides of the cathode disks (35, 45) have been embodied to be of different sizes. Together with the shape and the radius of the cathode disks (35, 45), contours with different sections are possible. The electrode (10) makes possible an economical production of components with specially shaped contours, and several contours in a single work step.
