NOVELTY - The coating device for electrochemical coating of edges (10') of a metal component (10), comprises a reservoir (2) for receiving a process medium, an applicator (3) partially surrounding the reservoir, and a bath electrode (20) standing in contact with the process medium. The applicator is provided with the edge of a fluid connection of the process medium from the reservoir to the edge during contacting the applicator, where the edge is connected with a contact electrode. A galvanic layer is separated during closing a circuit between the bath electrode and the contact electrode.    USE - Coating device useful for electrochemical coating of edges of a metal component.    ADVANTAGE - The device ensures economical coating of edges of metal component with improved corrosion resistance and high-quality.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The coating device for electrochemical coating of edges (10') of a metal component (10), comprises a reservoir (2) for receiving a process medium, an applicator (3) partially surrounding the reservoir, and a bath electrode (20) standing in contact with the process medium. The applicator is provided with the edge of a fluid connection of the process medium from the reservoir to the edge during contacting the applicator, where the edge is connected with a contact electrode. A galvanic layer is separated during closing a circuit between the bath electrode and the contact electrode at the edge from the process medium. The applicator has a non-conducting surface, is an element and comprises a brush, a paintbrush, a block, a cylinder, a ball, a hemisphere, a wedge, or a cone. The reservoir is fluidically connected over a supply line with the process medium-storage tank. A pumping device is arranged at the process medium-storage tank for transferring the process medium from process medium-storage tank into the reservoir. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a coating method for electrochemical coating of edges of a metal component.
