In order to extend the service life of the accessories, a hard chrome layer is often plated on the surface of the material to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of the parts. Due to the poor dispersion ability of the chrome plating bath, the wall of deep and blind holes cannot be directly chrome plated, and for example Figure 1 Some of the special-shaped barrel parts shown in the figure have a main barrel body with a deep straight barrel and a large aperture. A branch barrel opening which is obliquely connected to the main barrel hole is also provided on the barrel wall of the main barrel body. It is required to perform local chrome plating on the wall of the main barrel hole.
