Electrodeposition
Electrodeposition (electrochemical deposition or electroplating) is a material processing technology. It uses electric current to cause a material (typically a metal) to deposit on an electrode. The electrode is immersed in an electrolyte containing ions of the material. Applied current causes the material to form a deposit.
