Abstract
The electrodeposition of ternary Zn-Ni-Fe alloy films was investigated in acidic chloride electrolyte. Electrodeposition was performed onto mild steel plates at pH 3 and 43 degrees C. The influence of the chlor ide concentration (ZnCl2, NiCl2 and FeCl2) on the surface appearance a nd deposit composition, as well as cathodic current efficiency, were i nvestigated. Bright Zn-Ni-Fe alloy deposits were obtained in the elect rolyte containing 0.4 M of each of ZnCl2 and NiCl2 with 0.02 to 0.08 M FeCl2. The influence of current density, pH and temperature were also examined.
