electrodeposited
Current-applied metal layer
Electrodeposited describes a material, usually metal, that has been applied to a surface through electrodeposition—a process that uses electrical current to deposit dissolved metal ions onto a conductive object.
The technique produces uniform coatings for purposes like corrosion protection, decorative finishing, or manufacturing precision components.
The electrodeposited copper layer provided excellent conductivity.
Chrome bumpers and gold-plated jewelry are familiar examples of electrodeposited finishes.
