= Electrodeposited materials tend to be concentrated at sharp corners, peaks, and ridges, due to the fact that current distributed on a surface will tend to concentrate at these irregularities more than in concave surfaces such as recesses Therefore, when a workpiece with a rough surface is electroplated, the rate ofdeposition will be faster on convex irregularities resulting in an accentuation of the item's original roughness To counteract this effect, additives are added to the electrolyte solution to produce a polarization effect concentrated at the peaks and ridges This polarization effect lowers the current density at the peaks and reduces deposition rates The net result is to smooth or "level" the surface of the workpiece
A process to flatten shape deficiencies (wavy edges and buckles) in the metal sheet prior to final shipment Most metal sheet initially has a crowned cross-section that is flattened by leveling
{i} total demolish or destruction of a building; changing the ground level to a flat or softly sloping surface; equalization, act of making uniform or equal
Elongation of paint film occurring from the time the paint particles form a wet film on the surface to the time the film hardens and dries Paint is said to have good leveling properties when orange peel or texture disappears as a result of elongation Also known as Flow
