The immersion technique is the most common technique used for continuous strip finishing and can be applied universally to solid strips, flat or three-dimensionally curved stamped parts. Thus, bushings, pins, crimp parts and other functional areas can be plated with all metal surfaces commonly used in electrical engineering without additional tooling costs. In order to adapt the process to the respective component geometry, various modifications are available with corresponding apertures and injections as well as lateral shielding and anode arrangements.
