Abstract
The electroplating of Zn−Ni alloy films from a chloride bath has been studied under different plating conditions, both in the absence and presence of a phenolic derivative. Under the conditions examined, the electrodeposition of the alloys belonged to the anomalous type. The morphology and composition of the deposits varied with current density, temperature, bath composition and additive concentration. The results show that the additive modifies the structure and surface topography of the deposits to a large extent and produces smoother deposits. The corrosion resistance of the alloys has been analyzed by means of salt-spray tests.
