  • Method for the continuous electrolytic plating of a metal strip with a metallic plating layer
    Patent number: 4808277
    Abstract: To form a plating layer on a metal strip by continuous electrolytic plating, the strip is continuously passed, as the cathode, through an electrolytic cell in which there is at least one anode and electrolyte. In order to monitor the plating layer during its formation, a beam of electromagnetic radiation is directed at the strip at a location after the strip enters the cell and the intensity radiation scattered from the strip surface at a predetermined angle is measured. This provides information about the plating layer formation, e.g. formation and growth of crystallization nuclei, which can be used to adjust the electrolysis process.
