Electroplating is a process that uses an electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a thin coherent metal coating on an electrode. The term is also used for electrical oxidation of anions on to a solid substrate, as in the formation of silver chloride on silver wire to make silver/silver chloride electrodes. Electroplating is primarily used to change the surface properties of an object (such as abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities), but may also be used to build up thickness on undersized parts or to form objects by electroforming.

The process of depositing a layer of desired metal on any other metal is known as electroplating. We can electroplate iron spoon, iron car parts, etc. The term 'electro' refers to 'electric current'. The term 'plating' means the act of covering a metal object with a thin layer or coating of a different metal.
