The comparative study of the corrosion stability of Zn-Ni-Co alloy coatings deposited from chloride and sulphate baths by Marija G. Riđošić, Jelena B. Bajat

“…On the other hand, [Co2+]/Ni2+] ion ratio showed a significant influence on corrosion behaviour of ternary alloy coatings, and this influence was more pronounced with alloys deposited from chloride baths. It was shown that increased corrosion protection of steel can be achieved by electrochemical deposition of ternary alloys that contained lower amount off the alloying elements, while the composition of the ternary alloy can be optimized by proper choice of the type and composition of the deposition bath.…”
