Sähkögalvanoinnissa
Sähkögalvanoinnissa, commonly known as electroplating, is an electrochemical process used to deposit a thin layer of metal onto another material. This is achieved by immersing the object to be plated, acting as the cathode, and a piece of the plating metal, acting as the anode, into an electrolyte solution containing ions of the plating metal. When an electric current is applied, metal ions from the anode are attracted to the cathode and deposit onto its surface, forming a coating.
The primary purpose of electroplating is to enhance the properties of the base material. This can include
The electroplating process requires careful control of several parameters, including current density, temperature, and the composition
