Electroplating is a process that uses electricity to coat an object with a thin layer of metal. It involves using a cathode, anode, electrolyte, and power source. The metal ions in the electrolyte solution are attracted to the cathode due to the electric current, reducing and plating the metal onto the cathode. Electroplating is widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, electronics, and jewelry to protect objects from corrosion, improve appearance and surface properties, and reduce friction.

- 6. Cathode: The Metal to be plated by another metal Anode: The metal to be plated on Cathode Electrolyte: Conducting solution containing metal ions in which Anode and Cathode are placed. Power source: Supplies a direct current to the anode and oxidizes the metal atoms which dissolve in the solution.
- 7. The ions travel on the electric current to the cathode, where reduction (gain of electrons) happens, plating the copper ions into the key
- 8. Using electro-plating many metals can be coated like:-
- 10. Electroplating is widely used in industries such as - automobile, airplanes, electronics, jewelry, toys, cars etc.
- 11. To give metal objects a better appearance and attraction such as jewelry, trophies and medals are coated with Gold, Silver, Brass and Rhodium. To protect metal objects from corrosion or rust e.g. iron plates used in ships which remains in contact with sea-water are plated with Zinc to prevent corrosion.
- 12. To obtain desired surface properties such as smoothness and uniform surface finishing for the product. To reduces friction- Nickel coating for connectors and increase conductivity
