sähköpinnoituksesta
Sähköpinnoitus, known in English as electroplating, is an electrochemical process used to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a conductive surface. This process involves immersing the object to be plated, which acts as the cathode, into an electrolyte solution containing ions of the plating metal. An anode, typically made of the same metal as the plating material, is also placed in the solution. When an electric current is passed through the solution, metal ions from the electrolyte are attracted to the cathode and deposit onto its surface, forming a thin, uniform coating.
The primary purpose of sähköpinnoitus is to enhance the properties of the substrate material. This can include
Sähköpinnoitus finds widespread applications across various industries. In the automotive sector, it is used for decorative
