采用恒电流沉积方法和x射线能谱(EDS)技术,研究了碱性Zn—Ni合金的主要电沉积工艺参数对镀层组成的影响规律,获得了Ni含量稳定为(11-13)mass%的Zn—Ni合金镀层,证实了Zn—Ni合金的共沉积过程遵循异常共沉积机制。采用扫描电镜(SEM)、原子力显微镜(AFM)和x射线衍射仪(XRD)等对优化的Zn—Ni合金镀层进行了表征,发现镀层主要具有γ相(NiZn3)结构,其表面平整、致密、光亮;腐蚀测试表明Zn—Ni合金镀层具有优良的耐蚀性能。
Zinc-nickel alloy coatings were electroplated from an alkaline electrolyte using direct current, the influences of principal technological parameters on the composition of zinc-nickel alloy coatings were studied using energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The results show that the content of nickel in Zn-Ni deposits kept between 11% and 13% and the co-deposition of zinc and nickel behaved anomalously. The microstructure of the optimized deposition was characterized by scanning transmission electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), the results showed that the Zn-Ni deposits consisted mainly of the γ-phase(NiZn3) and the film was compact and fine-grained. Meanwhile, the Tafel plot measurements proved the coating had good corrosion resistance.
