NEARLY 10 MiLLiON TONS OF ZiNC iS PRODUCED AROUND THE WORLD. i KNOW YOU ASKED FOR HOW MUCH iS PRODUCED iN AMERiCA BUT THiS iS THE CLOSEST i GOT TO FiND OUT THAT ANSWER. HOPES THiS HELPS iN A WAY.
Thank you, but what I am looking for is what is used specifically for electroplating. Significant amounts of the 10 million tons are used in steel production, hot dip galvanizing, casting metals, etc. I am trying to determine how much is used solely for electroplating in North America. No one I have contacted to far has this information.

Uses of electroplating?
electroplating is an effective method to prevent the metal from corrosion
What is the definition of electroplating?
Electroplating is a process of depositing a thin layer of one metal over another metal by the method of electrolysis.
Which metal gets coated during electroplating?
The cathode gets coated during electroplating.
What metal gets coated during electroplating?
The metal that is the cathode gets coated during electroplating.
What effect does electroplating have on the concentration of an electrolyte?
When electroplating metal ions (e.g. Chromium) are deposited as metal at the cathode. The metal ion is reduced. The concentration of chromium ion drops as a result.
What is the process of layering a metal onto a surface?
electroplating
What are the advantages of electroplating?
Oh!well............there are many advantages of electroplating but some are as follows: 1)It saves the metal from corrosion and rusting. 2)It makes the metal durable and lustrous.
Is there a chemical process to bind gold and a ferrous metal?
electroplating
What do you mean by electroplating and electrolysis?
depositing a metal to another
What gets plated during electroplating?
The metal being used as the cathode
Electroplating is the main use of this metal which has a high resistance to oxidation?
Chromium is widely used for electroplating. Chromium is a hard brittle metal that polishes well, has high resistance to heat and is highly resistant to tarnish.
What kind of reaction is used in electroplating?
The principal reaction is the reduction of a metal cation; this metal is deposed on the "electrode".
