Electroplating Process Anode

If you do an electroplating process, there are two electrode that immerse to the solution, and each of electrode is connect to electric current. For electroplating process use direct current. Beside chromium plating there are many other kind of electroplating like nickel plating etc.





Electroplating process is a process to coat some metal to other metal using electric current. The metal to coat should have better characteristic than base metal to be plated. Coating metal use such as chrome metal, nickel, copper, silver and gold. On the plating process we need electrode to flow the electric current. The metal that will coat to other metal must diluted into the chemicals. On this solution dilution of metal will coat to the Cathode, because cathode is charged with negative electric current and Anode will charge with positive current.

Metal on the solution will change into ion, metal ion have positive charge. Other compound that associate with metal will dilute with negative ion.
