• In a nutshell, electroplating is a process of
  plating/coating a piece of metal with another
  metal by the process of electro-deposition. It is
  similar to adding a new skin to metal to make it
  attractive and durable.
• What is the process of electroplating?
• As the name suggest, electroplating is a process
  of deposition or plating. In the process, the
  metal which has to be electroplated is dipped in
  a tank full of electrolyte solution. In this tank
  the metal act as cathode and another anode is
  already there in the tank. Later, Direct current
  Is passed through the tank and this results in
  the formation of ions that sticks to the surface
  of the metal. This results in the electro-plating
  of the metal.

• Uses of
  electroplating?
• Plating ads properties to the metal.
• The core metal which is electroplated may not
  have the properties as the metal that is coated
  on it, has. This makes it super use full for the
  industries. In the telecom sector, the copper
  conductors are coated with silver as silver has
  best conductivity to the electric current. This
  helps the businesses in cost cutting as they do
  not have to use the whole silver wire, but just
  coating of it.

Protective barrier.
Electroplating a metal is like giving a new skin
to the metal. we can coat a reactive metal with
less reactive metal and this will help the metal
to survive longer. A reactive metal reacts with
the atmosphere and corrodes very soon but by
coating it with the less reactive breaks the
contact of the atmospheric condition and the core
metal.

ThicknessThere
are many ways of cover the metal body like paint,
anodizing, etc. if you need a thick layer of
covering to your metal, electroplating is the
way. Electroplating gives a thick layer of
protection to the metal than any other process.

FinishingElectroplating is largely used to
enhance the appearance of the metal. often the
jewellery which is made of a cheaper material is
plated with gold or silver to make it look
attractive and beautiful. Similarly, the old
metal components are electro-plated with which c
gives it completely a fresh look.

Insulation
Electroplating is also used as for insulating a
material. Coating isolates the parts from
electrical currents passing through. It prevents
static build up and materials from clinging, most
especially to the substrate. Thats why coating
is used in copy rollers, print industry
equipment, and beverage filling probes.
