Abstract

Corrosion performance of zinc-nickel and zinc-cobalt alloys prepared as duplex and triplex layers were evaluated by the potentiodynamic polarisation method and a simulated salt spray test. The results were compared with those obtained in the field test under severe tropical marine conditions. The effect of a nickel undercoat was also evaluated. All tests were conducted with electroplated deposits with and without chromate passivation. The results indicate that their corrosion resistance was in the orderof Nil Zn-Co/Zn-Ni>Ni/Zn-Ni/Zn-Co>Zn-Co/Zn-Ni>Zn-Ni/Zn-Co>Ni/Ni-Zn>Ni/Zn-Co. However, in marine testing Ni/Zn-Co/Zn-Ni showed tendency to crack formation
