Abstract
Zinc–nickel films were obtained by electrocodeposition using electrolytic deposition techniques in the presence of TEOA (C6H15NO3) and a surfactants consisting of triethylamine and monoethylamine with other bath additives. The modified structure of the films was analysed with scanning electron microscopy attached to energy-dispersive spectrometer, atomic force microscope and X-ray diffraction. Micro-hardness and corrosion of the coated body was examined and used as a criterion to justify the adhesion of the crystal deposited. The corrosion resistance of the coated and uncoated composites was studied in 3.5 % sodium chloride static solution using linear polarization technique. The hardness value increased from 38HV—substrate to 180HV—coated body, indicating a 78.89 % improvement. Equally, the corrosion resistance of the deposited matrix was enhanced by 84.62 %.
