“…Amongst the zinc alloys studied, Zn-Ni coatings were the most successful and have been shown to be good substitutes for toxic and high-cost cadmium coatings [3,4]. It has been reported that Zn-Ni alloy coatings with 10-15 wt.% of Ni have better corrosion resistance [5,6], superior formability and improved weldability [7,8]. However, the highest Ni content commonly employed in the aeronautical industry is 15-22 wt.%, Barcelo et al [9] reported that alloys containing from 10 to 15 wt.% of Ni displayed superior corrosion resistance.…”
