Electroplating is used in
various industries to coat metal objects with a thin layer of a different
metal. The layer of metal which is deposited possesses some desired property, that
the metal of the object does not have. For instance, chromium plating is done
on several objects like car parts, bath taps, kitchen gas burners, wheel rims
and many other things because chromium is very corrosion resistant, and increases
the life of the parts. Electroplating is very useful in different industries.
It is also used to make inexpensive jewellery.

Electroplating is the process of applying metal coating on metallic or non metallic surface through electrochemical process.
Applications:
1. It is used to enhance the appearance of the objects. Electroplating gives smooth and attractive finish to the crude metal objects.
example: Chromium plating in steel utensils and automobiles.
2. Protection from Corrosion:
to protect the metal from environmental and atmospheric conditions such as corrosion for example iron will get rust easily so it is coated with zinc.
3. Chromium and nickel plating is used when hardness is required to improve the special surface properties.
