ScopeElectroplating is a process whereby an object is coated with one or more relat
5、ively thin, tightlyadherent layers of one or more metals. It is accomplished by placing the object to be coated on a plating rackor a fixture, or in a basket or in a rotating container in such a manner that a suitable current may flow throughit, and then immersing it in a series of solutions and rin
6、ses in planned sequence. The advantage to be gainedby electroplating may be considerable; broadly speaking, the process is used when it is desired to endow thebasis material (selected for cost, material conservation, and physical property reasons) with surface propertiesit does not possess.It should
7、 be noted that although electroplating is the most widely used process for applying metals to asubstrate, they may also be applied by spraying, vacuum deposition, cladding, hot dipping, chemical reduction,mechanical plating, etc. The purpose for applying an electroplate and the metals used for vario

Engineering CoatingsFunctional enhancement of a component by the use of an electroplated coating isrecognized. Among the many applications, the more important usages include:a. Abrasion and scr
13、atch protection as provided by a coating that is harder than the basis metal. Coatingsof chromium, nickel (both electrodeposited and electroless), tin-nickel, or iron are examples of hardcoatings.b. Use of soft electrodeposits, such as silver, lead, tin-lead, indium, or lead-indium which adjust to m
