đúc điện
Definition
- Noun:
- Electroforming / Electroplating: A technical process that uses electrical current to deposit a layer of metal onto a conductive object (electroplating) or to create a solid metal object by depositing metal onto a mold (electroforming). The core meaning involves shaping or coating an object using electricity and metal ions in a solution.
