T. Pan et al., XPS and AES investigation of nanometer composite coatings of Ni-P-ZnX on steel surface (ZnX = ZnSnO3, Zn-3(PO4)(2), ZnSiO3), APPL SURF S, 181(3-4), 2001, pp. 191-195
In this paper, the physical chemistry nature of the Ni-P-ZnX coatings have
been studied by weighing method, accelerated corrosion tests, tarnish test,
high-temperature oxidation tests, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-
ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The result shows that the surfaces of
the coatings are homogeneous, polished, solid and with strong corrosion re
sistance. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
