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
any artifact that has been plated with a thin coat of metal by electrolysis coat with metal by electrolysis; "electroplate the watch
To plate or cover with a coating of metal, usually silver, nickel, or gold, by means of electrolysis
to put a very thin layer of metal onto the surface of an object, using electrolysis
An adherent metallic coating applied by electrodeposition on a substrate for the purpose of improving the surface properties
The term used to indicate the application of a metallic coating on a surface by means of electrolytic action
Base metals coated with pure silver when electrical currents pass through a plating bath which deposits the silver on the base metal
A process by which metal is adhered to glass by dipping it into an electrically charged solution Encased Painting on Glass: The process of painting a glass object with glass paint, then subsequently re-heating the glass and gathering more hot glass over the surface, encasing the paint in glass
> Developed in the 1830s, this process fuses a thin layer of silver to base metal using electricity
The deposition of a thin layer or coating of metal on an object by passing an electric current through the object or charging of the particles themselves
refers to the process whereby a layer of pure silver is applied to an inexpensive base metal core - such as copper, brass or nickel - by electric current (or electrolysis), a method first commercialized by the Elkington Brothers in the 1840s Typical markings include EPNS (electroplated nickel silver); EPBM (electroplated Britannia Metal); and "A1" or "Quadruple Plate" (a thicker than normal coating of silver) Electroplating is still widely used today
A process of coating the surfaces of a metal object with a layer of a different metal through electrochemical means, usually to exploit different properties of the materials
Process of coating with metal by means of an electric current. Plating metal may be transferred to conductive surfaces (e.g., metals) or to nonconductive surfaces (e.g., plastics, wood, leather) if a conductive coating has been applied. Usually the current deposits a given amount of metal on the cathode (workpiece) and the anode (source of metal) dissolves to the same extent, maintaining a fairly uniform solution. Silver plating is used on tableware, electrical contacts, and engine bearings. The most extensive use of gold plating is on jewelry and watch cases. Zinc coatings prevent the corrosion of steel articles, and nickel and chromium plate are used on automobiles and household appliances. See also terneplate, Sheffield plate
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
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
The electrodeposition 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 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
Deposition of an adherent metallic coating onto a conductive object placed into an electrolytic bath composed of a solution of the salt of the metal to be plated Using the terminal as the anode (possibly of the same metal as one used for plating), a DC current is passed through the solution affecting transfer of metal ions onto the cathodic surface
