Abstract

Zinc-nickel alloys obtained from a new alkaline electrolyte were characterized by analyzing their composition, morphology, structural parameters, and residual stress. The influence of various deposition parameters, such as current density, plating temperature, or deposit thickness, on these coating characteristics was analyzed. The results indicated that the alloys maintained their characteristics in a wide range of deposition conditions: they were uniform in appearance, consisted of almost pure γ phase, and had a tensile stress lower than that measured for other Zn-Ni alloys of similar composition obtained from other electrolytes. © 2002 The Electrochemical Society.
