Electrical and chemical process to transfer anode material into solution and them to the cathode-i.e. silver on copper
In the jewelry industry, the use of electricity to deposit a thin layer of precious metal on the base metal of a jewelry item.
A process using electrical current to coat objects with a thin layer of gold. The thickness of the coating depends on the amound and duration of the current.
a process in which electricity is used to coat one metal onto the surface of another metal
The producing of a chemical or metallic film on metal by passage of an electric current through an electrolyte
The Process of placing a thin layer of metal upon another metal by suspending an item to be plated in a solution containing the plating material. An electric current is then applied to the solution causing the negatively charged plating material to adhere to the positively charged item being plated. The amount of time used in the process determines the thickness of the plating.
The process by which a thin layer of precious or other metal of varying thickness and finess is electrically deposited onto the surface of another material such as base metal.
to coat a base metal with a finish metal. Such as copper dipped in silver. Often electroplating was used to fuse several layers of different metals.
The coating of a base metal object by the action of an electric current passing through the object submerged in a solution of a metal salt.
The process of coating a metal with another metal using electricity.
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.
A process of coating or covering an electroconductive material with a thin layer of metal through the electrolytic process. To plate, as with silver and gold.
( electrolytic plating) Direct deposition of metallic materials on a surface using an electrolytic process. It involves passing a current between an anode and a cathode through a conductive solution containing metal ions. The conductive surface of the laminate (circuit board) to be plated is the negative electrode (cathode).
A method of electrically depositing metals of very precise compositions and thickness onto a base metal.
The application of a pure silver coating to otherwise finished articles, by the process of electrolysis. Perfected by Elkington Co., c. 1840.
Can also be called Galvanotechnics after its inventor Luigi Galvani. It is a process where a metal is coated with another metal using electricity. In jewelry metals are frequently electroplated with more expensive metals like gold, hence the name gold plating.
The electrodeposition of a metal coating on a conductive object. The object to be plated is placed in an electrolyte and connected to one terminal of a d-c voltage source. The metal to be deposited is similarly immersed and connected to the other terminal. Ions of the metal provide transfer to metal as they make up the current flow between the electrodes.
The application of a layer of metal onto a substrate in a conducting solution of metal slats.
The placing of a thin layer of one metal on top of another by the process of electrolysis.
Coating a metal surface (in fashion or bridge jewelry, usually with copper, nickel, chromium, gold, silver or rhodium) by means of electrolysis. The amount of electroplate on an object is measured in microns (one micron = .001 mm). See also Gold Electroplating and Silver Plate.
Process used to coat surfaces with very thin layers of gold. Achieved via gold potassium cyanide being coated onto a substrate through electrolysis. Used mainly in the decorative industry.
The process was introduced in the year 1842 and is used in making silver-plated ware or gold-plated ware. By this process a layer of silver or gold is electrically deposited on a base metal.
The electro-deposition of an adherent metal coating on a conductive object for protection, decoration, or other purposes.
depositing of one thin layer of metal e.g. silver, nickel, etc. upon another by electrochemical processes; also known as electrodeposition
Depositing a thin layer of a metal, usually copper, tin or silver, on the surface of another metal by electrifying the metal to be plated in an electrolyte containing the plating metal.
The process of covering one metal (usually a cheap and/or plentiful one) with a thin layer of a more expensive one, to provide protection and/or better appearance.
The process of using electrical current to adhere a metal, such as silver, to the surface of another metal, such as steel. Some forms of cutlery and flatware are electroplated.
The process of covering a base metal with a thin film of gold. The base metal is set in a chemical solution, and an electric current flows through to coat it with precious metal.
The deposition of an adherent metallic coating upon an electrode for the purpose of securing a surface with properties or dimensions different from those of the basis metal.
The electrode position of an adherent metal coating on a conductive object for protection, decoration, or other purposes.
The process of applying a decorative finish to the base material. Electroplating can be used for gold plating, rhodium plating or palladium plating. The process involves suspending the watch in a solution of the chosen metal which then has an electric current passed through it. Electrolysis occurs, causing the metal from the salts in the solution to stick to the watch, forming a complete new layer. The amount of metal deposited is referred to as number of microns of plating.
The use of electricity to deposit a coating of precious metal, suspended in a solution, on the base metal of an object. The first patent for the process was granted to the Elkington Brothers of Birmingham, England in 1840. The brothers, George & Henry, founded the silver electroplating industry that has spread to all parts of the world. Common markings on electroplated silverware include:  E.P.C. - Electroplated Copper  E.P.B.M. - Electroplated Britannia Metal  E.P.N.S. - Electroplated Nickel Silver.  E.P.W.M. - Electroplated White Metal Silver Soldered
Electrodepositing a metal or alloy in an adherent form on an object serving as a cathode.
Electrical and chemical process to transfer anode material into solution and then to the cathode; i.e.: silver or copper
This is where a metal is covered with a layer of another metal using electricity.
A deposition process in which metals are removed from a chemical solution and deposited on a charged surface.
The electrochemical deposition of reduced metal ions from an electrolytic solution onto the cathode by applying a DC current through the electrolytic solution between two electrodes, cathode and anode, respectively.
Deposition of a metallic coating on an object by putting a negative charge onto the object and immersing it into a solution which contains a salt of the metal to be deposited. The metallic ions of the salt carry a positive charge and are attracted to the part. When they reach it, the negatively charged part provides the electrons to reduce the positively charged ions to metallic form.
Plating a metal onto a (cathodic) surface by electrolysis.
The process of covering a base metal with a film of gold. The base metal is set in a chemical solution through which an electrical current flows to coat it with the precious metal.
The process was introduced about the year 1842 and is used in making silver plated ware. By this process a layer of silver is electrically deposited on a base metal. Also known as Silverplate.
use of electrolysis to coat one metal with another. Metals - The Reactivity Series
The deposition of a layer of metal on a base of metal or conducting surface by electrolysis.
The process of covering a base metal with a thin film of gold by setting it in a chemical solution through which an electric current flows to coat it with precious metal.
The process of covering a metal with a thin film of another metal. The metal is set in a chemical solution, through which an electric current flows to coat it with the other metal.
Electroplating involves the coating of an electrically conductive object with a layer of metal using electrical current. Usually, the process is used to deposit an adherent surface layer of a metal having some desired property (e.g., abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, improvement of aesthetic qualities, etc.) onto a substrate lacking that property. It is also used to build up thickness on undersized parts.
