what is electroplating731723

Answer:
Electroplating is the process of deposition of a thin layer of metal onto the surface of some other metal or conducting material with the help of electric current. Two electrodes are dipped in an electrolytic solution and electric current is passed through it. The cathode is made up of the metal which is to be plated and the anode contains the metal through which plating is done. On passing current metal ions of the anode are passed into the electrolytic solution and are finally deposited on the cathode.
Electroplating is done for several purposes, though the primary aim of electroplating is to change the surface properties of a substance. It may be done to increase the wear resistance of a substance, to change its lubricity, or as a measure to check the corrosion of a metal, or to increase the aesthetic value of a substance.
