Although alloy tin plating has been known and used for many years, this paper will describe the use of a new non-cyanide tin/zinc alloy as a possible replacement coating for cadmium and the use of a tin/nickel alloy as a possible substitute for barrel decorative chromium plating. A review on the corrosion properties of tin, zinc and cadmium compared to tin/zinc alloys and review of the properti...

Metallic zinc is a promising negative electrode for high energy rechargeable batteries due to its abundance, low-cost and non-toxic nature. However, the formation of dendritic zinc and low Columbic efficiency in aqueous alkaline solutions during charge/discharge processes remain a great challenge. Here we demonstrate that the dendritic growth of zinc can be effectively suppressed in an ionic li...

A ship building grade of carbon steel has been coated with copper by a furnace brazing process starting from a brass braze. An argon protective atmosphere was used to prevent oxidation of the steel. However, when the deposit was produced a low gas flow rate ensured that zinc was lost from the brass by oxidation leaving a copper deposit on the steel surface. The copper was found to be zinc free ...

A possible mechanism of the formation of spongy zinc electrodeposits is considered. The confirmation of the proposed semiquantitative mathematical model is performed in zinc electrodeposition onto copper wire from a 0.1 M zincate solution in 1.0 M KOH at room temperature. It was shown by SEM analysis of the deposit that the spongy growth was caused by mass transfer limitations under low nucleat...
