Development of a New Electrodeposition Process for Plating of Zn-Ni-X (X = Cd, P) Alloys - Permeation Characteristics of Zn-Ni-Cd Ternary Alloys

چکیده
It is shown that an electrodeposited Zn-Ni-Cd alloy coating produced from sulfate electrolyte inhibits the discharge of hydrogen on carbon steel. The newly developed ternary alloys have approximately ten times higher corrosion resistance when compared to a Zn-Ni alloy. Hydrogen permeation characteristics of Zn-Ni-Cd alloy coatings were studied and compared with those of a bare and a Zn-Ni alloy coated steel. The transfer coefficient, a, exchange current density, io, thickness dependent adsorption-absorption rate constant, k0, recombination rate constant, k3, surface hydrogen coverage, uH, were obtained by applying a mathematical model to experimental results. Alloys obtained from baths containing higher concentration than 3 g/L of CdSO4 in the sulfate plating bath are seen to have superior permeation inhibition properties compared to the Zn-Ni alloy coating and bare steel. The hydrogen permeation current was zero under normal corroding conditions for Zn-Ni-Cd alloy and it increased to 0.3 mA/cm2 at a cathodic overpotential of 250 mV. The hydrogen permeation current density for steel and Zn-Ni alloy under similar conditions were 62.1 and 1.3 mA/cm2, respectively. © 2000 The Electrochemical Society. S0013-4651(99)09-102-8.

A new Zn-Ni-Cd plating process was developed which offers a unique way of controlling and optimizing the Ni and Cd contents in the final deposit. Zinc-nickel-cadmium alloy was deposited from a 0.5 M NiSO4 1 0.2 M ZnSO4 bath in the presence of 0.015 M CdSO4 and 1 g/L nonyl phenyl polyethylene oxide. Using this process a Zn-Ni-Cd ternary alloy, with a higher nickel content as compared to that obt...

A Novel Electrodeposition Process for Plating Zn-Ni-Cd Alloys
Zn-Ni-Cd alloy was electrodeposited from an alkaline electrolytic bath under potentiostatic conditions. Bath analyses using a pH concentration diagram reveal that addition of a complexing agent is essential to maintain the bath stability. Introduction of a low concentration of CdSO4 reduces the anomalous nature of the Zn-Ni deposit. Deposits obtained from the electrolytic bath which contains 60...

a r t i c l e i n f o Zn–Ni, Zn–Co and Zn–Ni–Co coatings were electrodeposited on mild steel from an acidic chloride bath containing p-aminobenzenesulphonic acid (SA) and gelatin. These additives changed the phase content in the coatings, most likely as a result of their adsorption at the surface of the cathode. The effect of gelatin was more pronounced than that of SA. The Faradaic efficiency ...
