The forming apparatus has an external energizing section 8 for electrically and directly energizing an electrode plate 4a disposed in an electrolyte of a first electrolytic cell 2a and a chain introducing section 5 to each other and a plurality of energizing sections 9 for energizing two sets a pair of adjacent electrode plates 4 within the second and subsequent electrolytic cells 2 to each other across the electrolyte and the fastener chain F. While the fastener chain is successively wrapped around a plurality of rollers 3 and 7 and is transferred zigzag, the tooth trains of the fastener chain are directly energized through the energizing yarn of the fastener chain by the external energizing section. The two sets a pair of the second and subsequent electrode plates are energized to each other in the bath by the energizing sections. The anodically oxidized films having the arbitrary film thicknesses are formed. |
