Question

Define :
What are the objects of electroplating ?

Answer 1

Electroplating is the technique of depositing a metal onto another by hydrolysis, usually to prevent metal corrosion or for ornamental purposes.

An electric current is used to reduce dissolved metal cations, resulting in a thin, coherent metal coating on the electrode.

In the electrical oxidation of anions on a solid substrate, such as the production of silver chloride on silver wire to make silver chloride electrodes, electroplating is frequently used.

Electroplating's objects are:

(i) To make the article more appealing.
(ii) To prevent rusting or corrosion.
(iii) For the repair of broken items.
