Electroplating, also known as electrochemical deposition or electrodeposition, is a process for producing a metal coating on a solid substrate through the reduction of cations of that metal by means of a direct electric current.
Electrodeposition may refer to: Electroplating , a process that uses electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a coherent metal coating on an electrode Electrophoretic deposition , a term for a broad range of industrial processes which includes electrocoating, e-coating, cathodic electrodeposition, anodic ...
In electrowinning, an electrical current is passed from an inert anode through a leach solution containing the dissolved metal ions so that the metal is recovered as it is reduced and deposited in an electroplating process onto the cathode. In electrorefining, the anode consists of the impure metal (e.g., copper) to be refined. The impure ...
Electrogalvanizing is a process in which a layer of zinc is bonded to steel to protect against corrosion, enhance adhesion, or give an aesthetic appeal. The process involves electroplating , running a current of electricity through a saline-/zinc-based electrolytic solution with a zinc anode and steel cathode .
Electrophoretic Deposition Process. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD), is a term for a broad range of industrial processes which includes electrocoating, cathodic electrodeposition, anodic electrodeposition, and electrophoretic coating, or electrophoretic painting.
Metal powder production by electrodeposition is included in this category, or sometimes electrowinning, or a separate category depending on application. [2] Electroplating, the deposition of a layer of one metal on another [2] Electroforming, the manufacture of, usually thin, metal parts through electroplating [2]
Electroless deposition is advantageous in comparison to PVD, CVD, and electroplating deposition methods because it can be performed at ambient conditions. [2] [6] The plating method for Ni-P, Ni-Au, Ni-B, and Cu baths are distinct; however, the processes involve the same approach. The electroless deposition process is defined by four steps: [2 ...
Electroforming process Electroforming is a metal forming process in which parts are fabricated through electrodeposition on a model, known in the industry as a mandrel . Conductive (metallic) mandrels are treated to create a mechanical parting layer, or are chemically passivated to limit electroform adhesion to the mandrel and thereby allow its ...
