Electrometallurgy is the field concerned with the processes of metal electrodeposition. There are four categories of these processes:

  • Electrowinning, the extraction of metal from ores
  • Electrorefining, the purification of metals. Metal powder production by electrodeposition is included in this category, or sometimes electrowinning, or a separate category depending on application.
  • Electroplating, the deposition of a layer of one metal on another
  • Electroforming, the manufacture of, usually thin, metal parts through electroplating
