Abstract
SUMMARYThe influence of pulse parameters on zinc-nickel coatings plated on AZ91 magnesium alloy is investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particles of zinc-nickel alloy plated on AZ91 magnesium alloy become smaller and the surface roughness decreases with the increase of current density and frequency. However, long plating times and a high ratio of ton/toff have decremental effects on the particles and surface roughness. The contents of crystal phases of zinc-nickel alloy coatings are higher under pulse current deposition than under direct current. The frequency, current density, plating time and ratio of ton/toff have different impacts on the thickness and Ni content of zinc-nickel coatings.
