ABSTRACT:
A forward-reverse pulse cycling anodizing and electroplating process power supply wherein the forward-reverse cycle time, the ratio of positive to negative pulses during the cycle time, the width of the individual pulses and the voltages of the pulses are controlled. During the cycle time a series of discrete positive pulses are supplied during the first portion of the cycle, followed by a series of discrete negative pulses during the remainder of the cycle. The cycle is then repeated for as long as the power supply is energized. The discrete pulses supplied are portions of sinusoidal current waves. Triggerable unidirectional current conducting devices, disposed between the alternating current power supply and the electroplating load, are triggered into conduction at a selected point by a firing angle control circuit. Using the disclosed electroplating process power supply it is possible to hard anodize copper bearing aluminum alloys without etching.
