The process of depositing a thin layer of a desired metal over a metal object with the help of electric current is called electroplating.
Electroplating is done for
1) Protection from corrosion
2)Testing for decorative purpose
For example :Bathroom taps made of iron or steel are electroplated with chromium metal to prevent their corrosion or rusting. It gives a shining appearance to the bathroom taps due to which they look more attractive. The metal objects are usually electroplated with chromium, nickel, silver ,gold or copper metals.
When a metal object is electroplated with chromium, it is called chromium plating.
When a metal object is electroplated with tin, it is called tin plating.
When a metal object is electroplated with Nickel it is called Nickel plating.
