In the process of thermoplating, for coating of materials

Electroplating is the process of coating any metal using electric current. Using the electric current, reactions occur in the electrolyte we take and the metal ions get deposited in the metal which needs to be coated. On the other hand, thermoplating is a process in which the metal to be coated is heated first and then a coating of another molten metal is applied to it.

So, in this process heat is used for coating.
