Introduction
One of the most important
applications of electrolytic cells is
the process of electroplating, in
which a thin layer of a metal is
deposited on an electrically
conducting surface.
Electrical and chemical processes are not the only ways to coat
an object. Another important process is called vapor deposition
or vacuum coating. In this process, the metal to be deposited is
converted into a vapor that is allowed to condense on the
object to be coated. Many beautiful finishes can be obtained by
this process, which is carried out in a vacuum chamber.
Copper Plating:
Electrodeposition of metals is performed by
immersing a conductive surface in a solution
containing ions of the metal to be deposited. The
surface is electrically connected to an external
power supply, and current is passed through the
surface into the solution. This causes reaction of
the metal ions with electrons to from metal.
