[0002] The landing gear is a component for the aircraft to taxi, take off and land, and support the whole aircraft. Among them, the landing gear cylinder is the main part, which is closely related to the shock absorption performance of the aircraft shock absorption system. During the use of the landing gear cylinder, due to air entering or compressed air being filled inside, the change of environmental temperature during the takeoff and landing of the aircraft will cause the air to condense into water vapor and attach to the cylinder wall to form local micro-batteries, which will cause corrosion. At the same time, the frequent expansion and contraction of the actuator cylinder during use will cause wear and scratches on the cylinder wall.

[0003] When electroplating the landing gear cylinder, due to its large volume, it is difficult to clamp and fix the parts. At the same time, the strength of the current and the surface contact area will also directly affect whether the electroplating on the cylinder wall is uniform and complete.
