Abstract:Electrоdeposited Zn-Cr alloy coatings, containing 3.6, 5.4 and 9.4 mass % Cr were analysed by DSC and XRD. X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples show that when they are annealed to selected temperatures before and after the heat flow peaks of the DSC curve, there is an irreversible transition in all three alloys from η-(Zn, Cr) to ζ-CrZn 13 phase. With increasing Cr content, the start of the transition is shifted to higher temperatures (from 180 to 250°С). The η-(Zn) phase is predominant in the annealed al… Show more
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.
