Electroplating

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Electroplating uses an electric current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a conductive surface. The workpiece is the cathode in an electrolytic cell, and the metal to be plated is often the anode or supplied as ions in solution. Applications include corrosion protection, decorative finishes, and manufacturing electronic components (PCBs). Process control parameters (voltage, current density, bath composition) affect plating quality.
