An electrodeposition process used to plate metal with a layer of material in order to produce a component part with improved properties, such as wear and corrosion protection. The plating process uses an electric circuit, immersed in an electrolyte solution of dissolved metal ions, where the anode is the metal plating material and the cathode is the part awaiting plating. The anode dissolves metal ions into the electrolytic solution, which are then transferred by the electric circuit to be deposited as a plated metal layer onto the cathode.
