Electroplating, which is most often referred to as plating, is used to change the exterior properties of a metal part by adding a metal coating. The action of change is by an electric current, which is called electro deposition.

Essentially, plating is bonding a thin layer of desired metal to another. It is accomplished by passing a positive charged elecitrical current through a solution containing dissolved metal ions (e.g. tin, cadmium, silver, etc. anodes) and a negative charged electrical current through the parts or parts (cathode) being plated. This process is both inexpensive and can be used in all aspects to aid in the overall resistance on various metal parts.
