The art or process of covering anything with a plate or plates, or with metal, particularly of overlaying a base or dull metal with a thin plate of precious or bright metal, as by mechanical means or by electro-magnetic deposition
Plating or 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 material, usually metal, applied to another metal by electroplating, for the purpose of reducing corrosion; typically a more noble metal such a zinc is applied to steel
One place to grow cells is on agar plates The process of spreading cells onto a plate is called plating When you plate cells, you can isolate individual strains of bacteria from one another Each colony on a plate consists of millions of cells which arose from a single cell, and are all identical to that original cell Not all the colonies on a plate are necessarily identical
The process of pressing leather under a heated plate Often used in upholstery leather to mask imperfections
in this industry is not similar to that of jewelry which is strictly for appearance Industrial plating is the application of either a metal or ceramic coating used to protect the piece from wear, protect other objects in contact with the plated part or to stave off wear in a hostile environment
