What is the purpose of the rectifier in the electroplating process?
The purpose of a electroplating rectifier in the process of electroplating would be more clear when one gets to know and understand about what exactly a rectifier does, what is electroplating and more such related doubts will be put to an end very shortly through the sections which are about to be discussed further. What do you mean by Electroplating? As the name is self explanatory, in the process of electroplating, electrons are plated upon the materials to safeguard them from damaging and giving them higher strength. In the electroplating process, electric current works with the combination of cations and anions to deposit the layer of one metal over the other metal. The generally used metals for the electroplating process are copper, zinc, tin, etc. They have their specific qualities which make them desirable for certain incidents; such as copper is resistant to heat and shows great conductivity. Tin, apart from being corrosion resistant, is environment friendly as well. Zinc is a
