Methodology of Electroplating

Answer 1

Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another by hydrolysis, most commonly for decorative purposes or to prevent corrosion of a metal. There are also specific types of electroplating such as copper plating, silver plating, and chromium plating

Answer 2

1) Normally electroplating is used for either decorative or functional purposes and to prevent a metal from corrosion.

2) Electroplating works through an electrolytic cell with a cathode and an anode. The cathode is the metal that needs to be plated.

3)It is important to prepare the surface before beginning the procedure because sometimes there is contamination on the surface that could lead to bad electroplating results.

4)The different types of electroplating are: mass plating (also barrel plating), rack plating, continuous plating, and in line plating. 

5) Five metals that can be used in electroplating are:Zinc, Cobalt, Iron, Tin and platinum
