Five ml/l of the reaction product obtained from ethylenediamine and epichlorohydrin was added as a brightener to the zincate bath composed of ZnO (10g/l) and NaOH (100 g/l).Bright zinc plating from this bath had similar appearance, range of current density for brightening, and throwing power to those of the deposit from cyanide bright zinc plating bath.However, the current efficincy was slightly lower and the hardness was higher as compared with the deposit from the cyanide bath. Accordingly, the ductily of the former deposit seemed to be inferior to that of the latter.
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.
