dc.description.abstractCompositionally modulated alloy (CMA) coatings of Zn-Co were electrodeposited on to mild steel from an acid chloride bath containing thiamine hydrochloride, as an additive. Electroplating was carried out galvanostatically from a single bath containing Zn2+ and Co2+ ions. Gradual change in composition in each layer was effected by triangular current pulses, cycling between two cathode current densities. Compositionally modulated alloy coatings were developed under different conditions of cyclic cathode current density and number of layers, and their corrosion resistances were evaluated by potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The formation of multilayer and corrosion mechanism was analysed using scanning electron microscopy. The corrosion resistances of CMA and monolithic alloy coatings were compared with that of the base metal. Compositionally modulated alloy coating at optimal configuration, represented as (Zn-Co) 2 0/4 0/300, was found to exhibit ?80 times better corrosion resistance compared with monolithic (Zn-Co)3 0 alloy, deposited for the same length of time from the same bath. Improved corrosion resistance was attributed to the formation of n-type semiconductor film at the interface, supported by Mott-Schottky plots. Decrease in corrosion resistance at high degree of layering was found, and is due to lower relaxation time for redistribution of solutes in the diffusion double layer, during plating. 2010 Maney Publishing.en_US
