Abstract

See full text

During electroplating, an article immersed in an electroplating solution is held by an ultrasonic transducer supplied with an alternating-current energy produced by an ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic transducer converts the alternating-current energy to mechanical vibrations at an ultrasonic frequency corresponding to the excitation frequency. The mechanical vibrations produced by the transducer are applied directly to the article to cause it to vibrate at the ultrasonic frequency. This vibration results in removing air bubbles from the article surface.
