To plate or cover with a coating of metal, usually silver, nickel, chromium, or gold, by means of electrolysis.
The process of depositing gold, silver, chrome, nickel, etc., upon an object by placing the object in a special solution and then passing an electric current through the solution. The object forms one terminal, a special electrode the other. Direct current is used.
The term used to indicate the application of a metallic coating on a surface by means of electrolytic action.
The process of using electrical current to coat a base metal or alloy with silver or gold, invented in the 1830's and gradually superseding Sheffield plate.
any artifact that has been plated with a thin coat of metal by electrolysis
coat with metal by electrolysis; "electroplate the watch"
electrical currents pass through a plating bath resulting in deposits of silver on the base metal placed within the bath.
Articles consisting of a base metal coated with silver by the process of electrolysis.
A process using an electrical current to coat a base metal or alloy with silver. Invented in the 1830's and gradually superseeding Sheffield Plate.
base metals coated with pure silver when electrical currents pass through a plating bath which deposits the silver on the base metal.
to use electrolysis to coat the surface of an object with metal.
to plate with an adherent continuous coating by electrodeposition.
The process of coating base metal with another metal.
A technique where one metal is coated with another metal using electricity. Inexpensive metals are frequently electroplated with more expensive metals, most common are gold (gold plating), and silver (silver plating).
A process for plating costume jewelry with a more expensive metal by using electric current, which enables the plating to accumulate a greater thickness than can be accomplished by acid or chemical plating.
Electroplating (also called Galvanotechnics after its inventor, Luigi Galvani) is a process in which one metal is coated with another metal using electricity. In jewelry, inexpensive metals are frequently electroplated with more expensive metals, like gold (gold plating), copper (electrocoppering), rhodium (rhodanizing), chromium (chromium plating), or silver (silver plating). The thickness of the metal coat varies. Electrogilded coating is the thinnest (less than 0.000007 inches thick); gold-cased metals have a coating thicker that 0.000007 inches.
