Galvano
Galvano is a term derived from the Latin word "galvanum," relating broadly to processes involving electrochemical deposition and surface finishing of metals. In modern contexts, it is commonly associated with galvanization and electroplating, techniques used to coat objects with a thin layer of metal for purposes such as corrosion resistance, decorative appeal, or functional enhancement.
Galvano processes typically utilize an electrolytic cell where the object to be coated (the substrate) acts
The primary applications of galvano include corrosion protection for automotive parts, electrical connectors, jewelry, and household
Historically, galvano techniques date back to the 19th century, gaining prominence as industries recognized the benefits
The term "Galvano" is also related to the broader field of electrochemical surface treatment, encompassing processes
