Zusammenfassung:A tank is utilized for containing a plating solution. A rotatable support assembly rotatably supports a combustion chamber component relative to the tank for providing partial immersion of the combustion chamber component within the plating solution. An anode is positioned within the tank proximate a surface of the combustion chamber component to be electroplated. A current source is connected to the anode and in electrical contact with the combustion chamber component. When the combustion chamber component is rotated, the submerged portions are deposited with metal from the plating solution.
