Abstract: A plating apparatus (10) is disclosed including a plating tank (9), cathodes (1a to 1f), a holding mechanism (2), at least one anode (3), and a rotation mechanism (4). The plating tank (9) contains an annularly or helically wound substrate (90) together with a plating solution. The cathodes (1a to 1f) are placed inside the plating tank (9). The holding mechanism (2) holds the cathodes (1a to 1f) at positions electrically connected to the outer periphery of the substrate (90) and holds the substrate (90) via the cathodes (1a to 1f). The anode (3) is placed at least on the inner periphery side of the substrate (90) held by the holding mechanism (2). The rotation mechanism (4) rotates at least either the substrate (90) and cathodes (1a to 1f) held by the holding mechanism (2) or the anode (3), or both, around the axis of the wound substrate (90).

Abstract: A wear-resistant coating film is disclosed that can maintain high wear resistance for a long period of time even when it is subjected to repetitive wear, and a method for producing the film, as well as a wear-resistant component. The wear-resistant coating film 10 includes a plated layer 11, lump parts 2, and a coat layer 13. The plated layer and the coat layer are laminated, and each of the lump parts is formed of a single particle 12 and/or an assembly of particles 12. The lump parts 2 are held by the plated layer 11 and are disposed to protrude from the plated layer 11. The coat layer 13 is formed to coat the surface of the plated layer 11, the lump parts 2 have flat portions 18, and the flat portions 18 are placed on the same plane as the surface of the coat layer 13.
