A Novel Electrodeposition Process for Plating Zn-Ni-Cd Alloys

چکیده
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 g/L of ZnSO4•7H2O, 40 g/L of NiSO4•6H2O, 1 g/L of CdSO4 , and 80 g/L of (NH4)2SO4 in the presence of additives and ammonium hydroxide at pH 9.3 has a composition of 50 wt % of Zn, 28 wt % of Ni, and 22 wt % of Cd. By optimizing the Cd concentration in the bath, it is possible to control the amount of Ni in the deposit. At large overpotentials, the surface of the electrode is covered with hydrogen which lowers the deposition current density. Rotating disk electrode studies indicated that the deposition of Cd is under mass control, while Ni deposition is under kinetic control. © 2003 The Electrochemical Society. @DOI: 10.1149/1.1534599# All rights reserved.

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...

Nonanomalous Electrodeposition of Zinc-Iron Alloys in an Acidic Zinc Chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride Ionic Liquid
The electrodeposition of iron and Zn-Fe alloys on polycrystalline nickel was investigated in the 40.0-60.0 mol % zinc chloride1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid containing iron~II! at 90°C. Iron~II! was electrochemically reduced to iron metal before the reduction of zinc~II! to zinc metal, and anomalous codeposition of Zn-Fe did not occur in this ionic liquid. Underpotential depo...

Electrodeposition of Ni-Co-Fe-Zn alloys was done in a chloride ion solution with the presence and absence of a Permanent Parallel Magnetic Field (PPMF). The PPMF was applied parallel to the cathode surface. The deposition profile was monitored chronoamperometrically. It was found that the electrodeposition current was enhanced in the presence of PPMF (9 T) compared to without PPMF. The percenta...
