A thin film of Zn-Ni-Fe 2 O 3 on steel substrates was prepared by electrodeposition technique using Zn-Ni alloy plating solution with nano-sized Fe 2 O 3 particles. The cathodic polarization and cyclic voltammetry techniques were used to explain deposition process. The corrosion behavior of deposits was evaluated by polarization and impedance studies. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were used to study the surface morphology of coating. The grain size and amount of Fe 2 O 3 particles present in composite coating were measured by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray diffraction spectrometer (EDS), respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
