Electrodeposition
Sign in to saveElectrodeposition (electrochemical deposition or electroplating) is a material processing technology. It uses electric current to cause a material (typically a metal) to deposit on an electrode. The electrode is immersed in an electrolyte containing ions of the material. Applied current causes the material to form a deposit.

Electrodeposition (electrochemical deposition or electroplating) is a material processing technology. It uses electric current to cause a material (typically a metal) to deposit on an electrode. The electrode is immersed in an electrolyte containing ions of the material. Applied current causes the material to form a deposit.
Electrodeposition is for a variety of applications, most commonly to create coatings that improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, conductivity, or appearance.
