Abstract
The mechanical behaviour of zinc-coated copper was studied in the zinc coating thickness range of 0-50 mu m. The microhardness and the adhes ion of the zinc coating to the copper substrate were observed to incre ase with increasing thickness of the zinc coating. The ultimate tensil e strength and the fracture strain of the zinc-coated copper were foun d to increase and to decrease, respectively, with increasing strain ra te for a constant value of the zinc coating thickness.
