Electrodeposition

Electrodeposition is a process used to coat an object with a layer of metal or other materials by using electricity. When a current passes through a solution containing metal ions, the ions move towards a negatively charged surface (the electrode) and deposit onto it, forming a thin metallic layer. This technique is commonly applied in industries to enhance surfaces for corrosion resistance, improve appearance, or create electronic components. It’s widely used in manufacturing jewelry, automotive parts, and electronic devices for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
