What is another word for electrodeposition?
Pronunciation: [ɪlˌɛktɹə͡ʊdˌɛpəsˈɪʃən] (IPA) 
Electrodeposition is a technical term commonly used in metallurgy and electrochemistry to describe a process where a metal or alloy is deposited on a conductive surface. Synonyms for electrodeposition include electroplating, electrocoating, electroforming, and electroextraction. Electroplating is a popular synonym for electrodeposition, which refers to the process of coating a conductive surface with a metal or alloy to improve its aesthetic appeal or to protect the underlying material from corrosion. Electrocoating, on the other hand, is a similar process that involves using an electric current to deposit an organic coating on a conductive substrate. Electroforming is a specialized form of electrodeposition that involves shaping a conductive surface into a specific form using an electric current. Finally, electroextraction is a process of removing metal ions from a solution by applying a current to a cathode.
