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.
