Electrodeposition is the process of producing a coating, usually metallic, on a surface by the action of electric current.
By now it should be evident that electrodeposition or electroplating should be defined as the process in which the deposit of a (usually) thin layer (of metal) is formed "electrolyticly" upon a substrate (that is often, but not always, also a metal).
Electrodeposition or electrochemical deposition (of metals or alloys) involves the reduction of metal ions from aqueous, organic, or fused salt electrolytes.

 U.S. Patent: 5069767 - Method of electrodeposition coating, and water-base paint resin composition - December 3, 1991
When a film electrodeposited from an aqueous electrodeposition coating bath comprising the so prepared aqueous dispersion of the functional group-containing resin is heated, water is volatilized and the resin is melted.
Electrodeposition may generally be carried out at a voltage of 50 to 500 V for a period of 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
After an electrodeposited film of a required thickness is obtained, the article is dried by a suitable method in a baking oven or an infrared heater, for example, at a temperature of 80.degree.

 Synthesis of Nanostructured Materials Using Template-Assisted Electrodeposition
The nucleation of nanostructures on the electrode substrate during electrodeposition is influenced by the crystal structure of the substrate, specific free surface energy, adhesion energy, lattice orientation of the electrode surface, and crystallographic lattice mismatch at the nucleus-substrate interface boundary.
Although the formation of nuclei on such stainless-steel templates during electrodeposition of palladium was easy, subsequent growth of nuclei on top of the oxide ridge at the grain boundaries of the steel substrate was slow compared to that of the nuclei at the grain interior.
Electrodeposition is highly influenced by the surface characteristics of the electrode substrate, and the shape and size of the deposit depend on the substrate.

Even when a cationic electrodeposition coating composition is prepared by employing the aqueous dispersion of the cationic electrodeposition resin of the present invention along with the conventional pigment paste composition, the corrosion resistance is improved and the amount of the organic solvent used can be reduced.

 Ceramic Films Using Cathodic Electrodeposition
Electrodeposition offers rigid control of film thickness, uniformity, and deposition rate and is especially attractive owing to its low equipment cost and starting materials.
Due to the use of an electric field, electrodeposition is particularly suited for the formation of uniform films on substrates of complicated shape, impregnation of porous substrates, and deposition on selected areas of the substrates.
The results of titania and zirconia electrodeposition indicate that the deposits remains amorphous up to ~300-350°C. At higher temperatures, crystallization of nanostructured titania and zirconia was observed (Figures 5 and 6).

This process was developed to enable the fabrication of lightweight, high-quality x-ray mirrors that do not undergo unacceptably large distortions when differential thermal contraction upon cooling is used to release the mirror deposits from their electrodeposition mandrels.
This process supplants an older pure-nickel electrodeposition process where it was necessary to form relatively thick deposits in order to make them strong enough to resist distortion in the presence of stresses imparted during release.
The process is based on the concept of selecting the composition of a plating bath and controlling the electric-current density to tailor the alloy composition and the level of stress in the electrodeposit.

 Valving in Microchannels via Electrodeposition on Solid Electrolytes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The electrodeposit can extend for several hundred microns if the electrolyte is fed with silver from the anode, the ions in the electrolyte being reduced by electrons from the cathode.
The electrodeposited silver, which is a high surface area fractal structure less than 1 micron high, changes the fluid-surface interaction, increasing the contact angle for water by at least 20 degrees over that measured on solid electrolyte alone.
Since fluid flow in a microchannel is dominated by the nature of the channel surface, this increase in effective hydrophobicity can be used to control the movement of the fluid.
