electroplate
Electroplate is a process that uses an electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a thin, cohesive metal coating on an electrode or a metal object. It is commonly used in jewelry, utensils, and various industrial applications to improve appearance, prevent corrosion, reduce friction, and achieve other desirable attributes. The item to be plated, or the substrate, is used as the cathode (negative electrode) in an electrolytic bath (consisting of a solution of the metal to be plated). When current is applied, the dissolved metal cations are reduced and deposited on the substrate, creating a thin layer of metal coating.
