What is electroplating
1 answer
Electroplating is a process in which a metal coating is deposited on a metal substrate by using an electric current. This is typically done by immersing both the substrate and a bar of the metal that will be plated in a solution containing ions of the plating metal. When a current is applied, the metal ions are attracted to the substrate and form a thin, uniform layer on its surface. This process is commonly used to improve the appearance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of metal objects.
