The immersion process is ideally suited to the selective or holohedral surface coating of full length strips and stamped parts, whereby the electrolyte flows along the sides of the immersed strip at a de-fined flux speed. The density of the layer and the quality, respectively grade of the desired sur-face finishing, is regulated by setting the flux speed, the strength of the current, the distance be-tween anodes/cathodes and the immersion depth.
