Electroplating
Electroplating, also known as electrodeposition, occurs when electric current is used to coat the surface of a metal material. This coating is produced by using the metal material to be coated as a cathode immersed in a metallic salt in an electrolytic cell. The metal of the salt is the metal used to form the plate on the metal material.
