Question

How is electrode deposition of metal carried out?Explain hot dipping?

Answer 1

Electrochemical deposition is a process that uses oxidation and reduction to accumulate one material onto the surface of another material. During the electrochemical deposition process, electricity is introduced to an electrolyte through the use of electrodes. After a while, the ions of the deposition material in the electrolyte adhere to one of the electrodes.

Electrochemical deposition can achieve extremely thin layer deposits that can make it a very cost-effective process. Electrochemical deposition can also create very strong bonds between the two materials, allowing the finished product to have a coating that is quite durable.

Hot dippingis a process in which a metal substrate is immersed in a molten bath of a second metal.
