Electroplating

The technique using an electrical current to deposit a thin uniform layer of metal on a conductive object to improve either its mechanical properties, chemical corrosion resistance, or aesthetic appearance. Initially the process, invented by Werner Siemens in 1842, was used to deposit silver on copper and was introduced to England in the following year by his brother Karl Wilhelm.
