Electrolysis
Illustration
A
tank of suitable material is set up with the appropriate liquid. A plate of
the material to be deposited A is suspended from an electrical
wire. Using direct current the electricity passes through the solution
depositing particles from A onto the object to be coated C, and
passes back to the source DC The object C is attached to the
return wire. A is known as the anode, and C is the
cathode.
