What is electroplating? *Electroplating is a process of a metal is put in a solution that will be reduced or “plated out” at a cathode. *It is used to avoid rusting and corrosion
How does it work? Steps: 1.Connect 2.Introduce materials 3. Solution 4. Both sides reaction 5.Result Cathode Anode
-Electrons are flowing from the anode to the cathode. -Equation: Cathode: Ag+ + e- Ag Anode: AgAg+ + e-
Some of the most common items we provide electroplating for are: * Jewellery * Model * Car * Clock * Light * Lock * Watch
Advantages of Electroplating *Save money (Example: put gold on the surface of the jewelery) *Beautify the products *Prolong life (avoid goods react with oxygen, save resources)
