Abstract

Electroplating is a process using electric current to reduce metal cations resulting on a thin coherent metal coating on an electrode. The term is also used in electrical oxidation of anions to a solid substrate. Electroplating is usually used to coat or manipulate surfaces of particles, but it can also be used to thicken undersized parts or even form new objects via electroforming.

Mirja Kiilunen has retired.
