Abstract
A rotatable electroplating barrel for electroplating articles, the electroplating barrel having a proximal end with a centrally formed aperture and a distal end with at least one helical rib extending circumferentially along a longitudinal axis and between the proximal end and the distal end. The at least one helical rib, proximal end, and distal end of the electroplating barrel are formed integrally as a unitary piece and have a contiguous perforated outer wall configured to couple directly to the proximal and distal ends, extending therearound to enclose the at least one helical rib.
