Effect of copper pretreatment on the zincate process and subsequent electroplating of a protective copper/nickel deposit on the AZ91D magnesium alloy

To obtain a durable Ni coating with excellent adhesion strength on an AZ91D Mg alloy, a pretreatment was performed with a small amount of Cu²⁺ ions added to the activation bath used in the pretreatment prior to the plating process. In the pretreatment activation process, a high density Cu layer was deposited on both the α-phase and β-phase areas of the substrate accompanied with Mg dissolution. The Cu deposit acted as nucleation seeds for the Zn deposition in the following zincate process which provided a uniform and dense Zn layer almost completely covering the substrate. Then a thin Cu layer was electroplated on this zincated substrate as an undercoating for the succeeding electroplating with Ni. Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy observations showed that the Cu deposited by the pretreatment enabled the deposition of a protective Ni layer with few defects. This structure also contributed to the improvement of adhesion strength and corrosion resistance as compared with the non-Cu added sample.     

Electrodeposition of Zn in acid sulphate solutions: pH effects

The kinetics of zinc electrodeposition from acid sulphate solution on a platinum electrode was investigated by means of stationary polarization curves, interfacial pH measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The effect of pH, namely pH 2, 3 and 4, was analyzed. A significant dependence of Zn electrodeposition with solution pH was verified. The results obtained cannot be predicted by the available models for Zn electrodeposition. A reaction model is then proposed based on the predominant steps as a function of the potential and the electrode surface nature.

Electrodeposition of Zn–Co alloy coatingsfrom sulfate–chloride electrolytes

The composition, surface morphology and appearance of Zn–Co alloy deposits as a function of current density, electrode potential and Co2+ concentration in the electrolyte was studied. It was found that coatings of good quality with low (1%) Co content are formed at a current density of 0.2Adm–2 and with high (6.5%) Co content at 2Adm–2 from electrolytes containing 1.0M Co2+ under galvanostatic conditions. The potentiodynamic dissolution of coatings with Co content of 6.5% indicates successive deposition of Co enriched phases and a pure Zn phase. The Zn–Co alloys are more corrosion resistant than zinc but are less resistant than cobalt.     

铝在路易斯酸性1-烯丙基-3甲基米唑氯铝酸离子液体中的低温电沉积(英文)

Lewis acidic 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate ionic liquids were used as promising elec-trolytes in the low-temperature electrodeposition of aluminium.Systematic studies on deposition process have been performed by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry.The surface morphology and X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns of deposits prepared at different experimental conditions were also investigated.It was shown that the nu-cleation density and growth rate of crystallites had a great effect on the structure of aluminium deposited.The crys-tallographic orientation of deposits was mainly influenced by temperature and current density.Smooth,dense and well adherent aluminium coatings were obtained on copper substrates at 10-25 mA?cm?2 and 313.2-353.2 K.More-over,the current efficiency of deposition and purity of aluminium have been significantly improved,demonstrating that the ionic liquids tested have a prospectful potential in electroplating and electrorefining of aluminium.
