Electroplating; Process of Plating/Depositing One Metal onto the Other through Hydrolysis
Electroplating Electroplating is the process of plating a metal onto the other by hydrolysis to prevent corrosion of metal or for decorative purposes. Electroplating is also known as electrodeposition. The process involves depositing material using an electric current. This process results in a thin layer of metal being deposited onto the surface of a workpiece called substrate. Electroplating creates a protective barrier to reduce friction and prevent tarnishing of a surface as well as protecting the surfaces from wear and tear by applying a thin, durable metal coating. Electroplating is a process that uses metals to improve the properties of objects. It can improve a variety of features, including resistance to rust and corrosion, lubricity, reflectivity, and electrical conductivity. It also improves the adhesion of materials, as well as improve strength and durability. It is used by artists, engineers, and manufacturers in a variety of applications. The process involves p...
