Hardness and corrosion resistance of Zn−Mn/Al2O3 composite coatings produced by electrochemical deposition
Abstract:The aim of this study is development and characterization of the novel Zn-Mn/Al 2 O 3 composite coatings. The coatings were electrodeposited with constant current density on steel, from chloride solution, without any commercial additives. The Zn−Mn alloy coatings that show high corrosion resistance, may be used in future as an alternative to cadmium coatings. However, the pure Zn and Zn alloy coatings are characterized with poor mechanical properties. Therefore, in this work the alumina particles were incorpor… Show more
