Electrodeposition

Name:
Electrodeposition
Detailed information:
The precipitation of a material at an electrode as the result of the passage of an electric current through a solution or suspension of the material, for example, alkaline-earth carbonates, rubber from latex, paint films on metal. A technique for electrodepositing refractory carbide coatings on metal has been reported. The electrode is in the shape of the desired article. An important advantage of electrodeposition is its ability to coat complex shapes having small and irregular cavities with exact thickness control.See Electrophoresis.
