Analyzing the influence of process parameters on anode usage in electroplating process

Electroplating is a process of depositing a layer of metal onto another base metal using the electrodeposition technique, where an acid is used as a medium of transferring the desired metal onto the base metal. During electroplating anodes are wasted and burnt and ended up not being used on the end...
