Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the effect of Ananas comosus juice on nickel electrodeposition on mild steel. The effect of this additive on electrodeposition behaviour, bath composition, surface morphology and corrosion performance of the nickel electrodeposited mild steel were investigated. The bath constitutents are optimized through Hull cell experiments. To investigate the nature of the deposits, FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy, EDAX, XRD and electrochemical methods are applied. Current efficiency and polarization studies were carried out. The results confirmed the influence of Ananas comosus juice on nickel electrodeposition.
