Abstract
Pure Zn‐Ni and Zn–Ni–ceria (CeO2) nanocomposite coatings were deposited onto steel substrates using pulse electrodeposition process from an acidic bath combined with preliminary sonication. Influences of different parameters such as pulse parameters, addition of nanoparticles in the electroplating bath, use of sonication to ensure their dispersion, were studied in terms of morphology, composition, and corrosion behaviour in saline solution. Results revealed a strong influence of the electrodeposition parameters on the corrosion behaviour of the Zn‐Ni coatings. Incorporation of ceria nanoparticles is enhanced for the very short duration of the pulse due to the refinement of the microstructure. It was proved that composite coatings present an enhanced corrosion behaviour, while sonification does not afford a further improvement.Keywords
