of 200 rpm, and varying time parameter between 10, 15, 20, and 25
min were studied using the electrodeposition method. The microstructure
properties and corrosion resistance characteristics were analyzed
using a scanning electron microscope enhanced with an energy-dispersive
spectroscope and potentiodynamic polarization apparatus, respectively.
The codeposited was subjected to different media test rig of 0.5 M

and 3.5% NaCl to examine the susceptibility
effect. The results pointed out that there is a stable mass weight
gain as the time increases, which facilitates the formation of dispersed
crystal build-up and homogeneous NiPZn content within the interface.
A remarkable corrosion property was also noticed with deposits of
highest time effect, which is invariably a factor of solid bonding
seen at the surface lattice.
