Which of the following properties make metals the best choice to be used in electroplating?
Corrosion resistant
The process in which a layer of metal is deposited onto the surface of another metal on passing electricity is known as electroplating or electrodeposition.
The benefits are mentioned below -
- The surfaces, when coated with a layer of a less reactive metal, control corrosion.
- Metals have lustre and hence provide a decorative coating.
- Metals have high strength and hardness, hence provide durability.
Metals are sonorous but this physical property of metal has nothing to do with electroplating.
