The chronopotentiometric technique was used to analyze the electrodeposition of Fe-Zn film on a Pt electrode. Three different Fe 3+ /Zn 2+ molar ratios, Fe26.8 wt.%-Zn73.2 wt.%, Fe46 wt.%-Zn54 wt.% and Fe66.6 wt.%-Zn33.4 wt.%, were used in a solution containing sorbitol as the Fe 3+ -complexing agent, with a total concentration of the two cations of 0.20 M. Coloration of FeZn films were light gray, dull dark gray and bright graphite, depending on the Fe 3+ /Zn 2+ ratios in the deposition bath. The highest stripping to deposition charge density ratio was 47.5%, at 15 mA cm -2 in the Fe26.8 wt.%-Zn73.2 wt.% bath. Energy dispersive spectroscopy indicated that the codeposition type of Fe and Zn in the Fe26.8 wt.%-Zn73.2 wt.% and Fe46 wt.%-Zn54 wt.% baths was normal at all j d tested, while in the Fe66.6 wt.%-Zn33.4 wt.% bath there was a transitional current density from normal to equilibrium codeposition at 50 mA cm -2 . Scanning electron microscopy showed that Fe-Zn films of high quality were obtained from the Fe66.6 wt.%-Zn33.4 wt.% and Fe26.8 wt.%-Zn73.2 wt.% baths, since the films were smooth. X-ray analysis of the Zn-Fe films obtained at 15, 25 and 50 mA cm -2 , in the Fe26.8 wt.%-Zn73.2 wt.%, Fe46 wt.%-Zn54 wt.% and Fe66.6 wt.%-Zn33.4 wt.% plating baths, suggested the occurrence, in general, of a mixture of Fe 11 Zn 40 , Fe 4 Zn 9 , bFe, aFe, Fe 2 O 3 , Zn and PtZn alloys in the deposit.
