give some points on electro platting

hello.!
↪electroplating on metals is done to prevent them from rusting by plating electrically on the metals.✔
●Electroplating is the process through which one metal is plated to another metal through hydrolysis. It is usually done for decorative purposes along with prevention of corrosion of metals.
●The process of electroplating includes:
using an electrolytic cell which consists of applying a negative charge to the metal
dipping it in a solution containing metal salt i.e. electrolytes which is full of positively charged metal ions. Attraction between the two metals occurs owing to the positive and the negative charges.
● There are certain specific types of electroplating like copper plating, chromium plating and silver plating.
USES OF ELECTROPLATING
•It can make a relatively cheap metal like copper look expensive by coating copper with a thin layer of gold or silver.
•Electroplating can be used to make things rust resistant.
•Chromium plating improves the wear and appearance of the objects.
•Zinc or the tin coatings are used for making anything corrosion resistant.
•Electroplating can also be done for increasing the thickness of any item.
•Electroplating is mostly used in automobile industries, electronics, airplanes, toys and jewellery.
Hope it did a little bit help \(^_^)/
