plating is a reduction process, not oxidation. If you want to deposit metal, use negative charge. Positive charge will oxidize like an acid bath. Ideally the metal you are trying to deposit should be the material that your cathode is made of.

Redox reaction, they're all the same. Something is getting reduced and something is getting oxidized. Something is gaining electrons, something is losing electrons. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Only matter of what your reducing and oxidizing. In this case, it's the Ti that's getting oxidized to Titanium Oxide, or Titanium Dioxide if you want to get really technical. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
