Electroplating is the coating of a reactive metal with a less reactive metal. This allows the reactive metal take longer to corrode. E.G.: Coating steel or iron with gold or silver

Is electroplating the same as chrome?

Electroplating and chrome plating are related but not the same. Electroplating is a broader process that involves depositing a layer of metal onto a surface using an electric current, which can involve various metals, including gold, silver, copper, and chrome. Chrome plating specifically refers to the electroplating of a layer of chromium onto an object, primarily for aesthetic purposes and to enhance corrosion resistance. Thus, while chrome plating is a type of electroplating, not all electroplating involves chrome.
