Electrolytic plating

Electrolytic plating is a process that coats a metal object with a thin layer of another metal using electrical current. The object to be plated is immersed in a solution containing metal ions of the desired coating. When an electrical current passes through, metal ions move and deposit onto the object's surface, creating a smooth, durable finish. This technique enhances appearance, corrosion resistance, and surface properties. It's commonly used in jewelry, electronics, and automotive parts to improve functionality and aesthetics with precision and control.
