Abstract

Zinc was electrodeposited from an acidic sulphate solution on commercial steel sheet substrates galvanostatically at 10, 20, and 100 mA/cm2. The steel substrates had an average roughness number of 1.34 microns and a high percentage of its grains had their (111) planes parallel to the plate surface. During electrodeposition at 10 mA/cm2, on some specimens, there was an intense potential fluctuation around –870 mV vs Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). During this period zinc hydroxide precipitated on the surface. After a certain time, the potential dropped to –1020 for zinc deposition. Zinc nuclei were seen to precipitate from zinc hydroxide. Increasing current density changed nucleation mode from progressive to instantaneous, and also changed the size, morphology, and texture of zinc deposits.

Abstract

In the present study, 304 stainless steel (SS) was electrochemically plated with nanocrystalline Mn-Cu alloy coatings from a bath containing ammonium sulfate. The effects of current density on the microstructure, crystallographic structure, and chemical composition of the deposits were studied. The results showed that at low current densities, discontinuous coatings with a large amount of Cu can be obtained. Further increase in current density resulted in amorphous, compact and heterogeneous coatings with a small amount of Cu. The presence of Cu at low contents in precipitated coatings delayed the phase transformation of as-deposited ductile g-Mn to the brittle and hard a-Mn. However, the results did not show any specific changes in the grain size of the coatings with variation of current densities.

Abstract

In this study, Ni-Mo nanocrystalline alloys were prepared on steel substrates by electrodeposition method from citrate-ammonia bath by applying current densities 30, 60 and 100 mA/cm2. Results indicated that the obtained coatings were uniform and compact. Moreover, molybdenum content in the alloy and current efficiency decreased with increasing electrodeposition current density. X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that all coatings were composed of face-centered cubic solid solution of molybdenum in nickel with grain size of 9-5 nanometer. Moreover, the most intensive plane in X-ray diffragtogram was (111). On the othe hand, roughness measurements indicated that surface roughness escalated with increasing current density. Corrosion behavior study showed decrease in corrosion current density of substrate with applying Ni-Mo alloy coatings. In addition, corrosion current density reduced with increasing molybdenum content of the coating and the minimum amount was related to the coating with 13 atomic percent molybdenum.
