Electroplating is the process of aligning another metal onto a metal. This is accomplished using an electroplating apparatus that includes a brine solution, a battery, wires, and alligator clips that hold carbon rods attached to the metal to be electroplated and the metal to be layered.

This process is influenced by a variety of factors. Some of these factors include the electrodes’ surface area, temperature, the type of metal and electrolyte used, and the magnitude of the applied current. The factors that influence the electroplating process will be investigated in this essay.

Electroplating is widely used in industry and the decorative arts to improve object surface qualities such as abrasion and corrosion resistance, lubricity, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, and appearance.

Electroplating is the method of depositing one metal over another in the presence of a metal salt (in aqueous solution). The water molecule is released as the final product in this process. As a consequence, electroplating is based on the theory of hydrolysis.
