Anode consumption too high

In nickel plating solution the rate of consumption is too high.

Hi, Aatir. So far we don't know by what standard you consider the consumption too high. It exceeds Faraday's Law of Electrolysis? You use far more nickel than you put on the parts? Or is it a general complaint that with today's cost of nickel you must find a substitute process because nickel is too expensive. Please detail your situation (we ask that people spend more words in their question than they want in the answer). Thanks!
