In electoplating, a thin layer of metal is deposited onto the surface of an object, typically made of a different material, such as plastic or metal. The process involves using an electrolytic solution containing metal ions, which are reduced and adhere to the substrate when an electric current is applied. Common metals used for plating include gold, silver, nickel, and chromium, enhancing properties like corrosion resistance, appearance, and conductivity.
During electroplating, the metal that is to be plated (such as nickel or chromium) is deposited onto the surface of the object being electroplated. This is achieved by passing an electric current through a solution containing dissolved ions of the metal being plated. The metal ions are attracted to the object's surface and form a thin layer of the desired metal.
The cathode gets coated during electroplating.
The item to be plated should be attached to the negative terminal of the battery.
From what I understand, the first most regulated industry is the nuclear power insustry. Second, is electoplating.
A kinds of metals can be electroplated, such as gold, silver, tin, zinc, copper, cadmium, chromium, platinum and lead
The metal being used as the cathode
No. Plated is not the same thickness as plated.

It's an ordinary bronze cent that was plated. A lot of 1976 coins were plated with silver or gold and sold as "collectibles" during the Bicentennial, but as soon as the celebrations were over the market for them dried up.
Rodd was the name of a prominent and successful jewellery company when I was a girl in Australia during the 60's and 70's (and perhaps before). They tended to produce gold plated and silver/silver plated mainstream jewellery such as gold plated bangles (that young girls often wore as a permanent fixture) and (I think) they also produced silver plated tableware and tea-services etc.
