Electroplating Principle
Electroplating is based on the principle that,
When two metals acting as electrodes are immersed in the salt of anode metal and a potential difference is created between them by supplying current, then the metal on the anode oxidizes and dissolves into the electrolyte salt and later gets reduced and deposit itself as a thin layer on the metal on cathode.
Electroplating | Definition, Principle, Process And Uses
Electroplating refers to the process of coating a metal onto another metal or alloy with the help of an electric current. It is also known as electrochemical deposition or electrodeposition.
Let’s learn the electroplating process in detail, including its working principle, advantages, examples and uses.
