explain the electroplating of copper
Answers
Copper electroplating doesn't have to entail a metal-on-metal process. Plating copper onto non-metallic surfaces is also a widely implemented industrial practice. Copper plating on plastic substrates is often used to make the plastic electrically conductive, which is a primary concern in the electronics industry. Electrified copper is a process which reduces oxidization of other metal with the use of copper plating.
ELECTROPLANTING
The process of depositing a thin layer of metal, on another, is called electroplating.
The process uses an electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations to develop a metal coating on the electrode & the deposited metal becomes part of the existing product with the plating.
