Electroplating:
The process of aligning another metal onto metal is known as electroplating.
This is accomplished with the help of an electroplating apparatus that consists of a brine solution, a battery, wires, and alligator clips that hold carbon rods attached to the metal to be electroplated and the metal to be layered.
Because chromium shines and is scratch-resistant, it is used in electroplating to give products a gleaming appearance.
