Electrodeposition of Zinc–Nickel Alloys from Ammonium Oxalate Electrolytes

The electrodeposition of zinc–nickel alloys (5–16 at % Ni) from the ammonium oxalate electrolytes is studied. It is shown that the ratio between the alloy components has an effect on the corrosion resistance of the coatings, their structure, chemical and phase composition, and microhardness.
