Method and system for electroplating parts with metal

A method of electroplating an article with metal, comprising the step of:

• allowing a current to flow in a plating bath containing ions of the metal and an organic compound additive wherein the plating bath is an alkaline plating bath,
• wherein
• the plating bath comprises the article as a cathode and a conductive base material as an anode wherein the conductive base material comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of nickel, iron, stainless steel, and carbon,
• a part of a surface of the conductive base material is covered with an insulating material, and a remaining part is exposed, and
• a current flowing portion is dispersedly present in the anode,
• wherein
• the conductive base material comprises a porous metal, a perforated steel plate, or a perforated folded plate, the conductive base material has a plurality of holes each comprising a lumen, and the lumen of the holes in the conductive material is filled with the insulating material.
