Abstract

Anticorrosion requirements for the metallurgy, automotive, and aeronautical industries have increased in recent years, for which alternative plating chemicals must be developed. This study focuses on obtaining a Zn-Ni alloy plating with higher corrosion resistance and brightness. For this purpose, tetraethylenepentaamine as complexing agent, triethanolamine as the surfactant, and gelatin and [Formula: see text]-aminobenzenesulfonic acid as brightening agents for the plating were selected and their optimal concentrations were determined for applications. The optimal Zn-Ni ratio and plating thickness were analyzed using an X-ray Dal device. Improved plating performance of the Zn-Ni alloys was achieved with a Zn-Ni alloy containing 12–14% Ni.
