Hey dear,
● Electroplating -
- Electroplating is a process that uses an electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a thin coherent metal coating on an electrode.
- Chromium is preferred for electroplating because it's inexpensive, easy to coat, decorative and increases surface hardness.
● Why rims of cycle tyres coated with chromium.
- Steel alloys used in cycle wheels are prone to rust.
- These are therefore painted with chromium to prevent rusting.
- The process is known as chrome plating which is a type of electroplating.
Hope this helps...
