The Basic Meaning Of Electroplating

During electroplating, the coated metal or other insoluble material is used as the anode, the workpiece to be plated is used as the cathode, and the cations of the coated metal are reduced on the surface of the workpiece to be plated to form a coating. In order to eliminate the interference of other cations and make the coating uniform and firm, a solution containing the coated metal cations is used as an electroplating solution to keep the concentration of the coated metal cations unchanged. The purpose of electroplating is to coat a metal coating on the substrate to change the surface properties or dimensions of the substrate. Electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of metals (the coated metal mostly uses corrosion-resistant metals), increase hardness, prevent wear, improve electrical conductivity, smoothness, heat resistance and beautiful surface.
