The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of nitrate and nitrite on the weight, morphology and electrochemical properties of phosphate Zn-%12Ni electrodeposited coatings. In order to investigate the phase structure and surface morphology of samples, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were employed. Also, to measure the corrosion resistance behavior of the coats, Potentiostat/Galvanostat test was used. The results showed that nitrite accelerator reduces coating weight and surface porosity simultaneously obtaining by phosphating solution. Furthermore, coatings being obtained by the nitrite accelerator had a higher corrosion resistance than that of the nitrate accelerator.
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.
