lindrical electrode adapted to be disposed in the hollow section of the workpiece with a surrounding gap left between a surface of an outer wall of the electrode and the inner surface of the hollow sec- tion; and a plating liquid circulat- ing mechanism for supplying com- posite plating liquid, consisting of ceramic particles mixed in plating liquid, to an interior of the cylin- drical electrode, for passing the composite plating liquid through the through-holes of the outer wall of the electrode to be then jetted onto the inner surface of the hollow section, and for collect- ing the jetted composite plating liquid f-rum a region surrounding the cylindrical electrode.

ELECTROPLA’IING BATH FOR SLIDING BEARINGS U.S. Patent 6,086,?42. July 11, 2000 H.U. Huhn et al., assignors to Glyco- Metall-Werke, Glyco B. v. & Co. KG, Weisbaden

A process for producing multi- layer materials for plain bearings comprising preparing a metallic backing layer; applying a bronze layer to the backing layer; elec- trodepositing a binary layer on the bronze layer selected from a group of materials consisting es- sentially of lead-based and tin- based alloys in an electroplating bath having a nonionic wetting agent and a benzene derivative anodically activating at least one surface layer of t and electroplati num-based runn 1 the binary layer.
