Abstract
Electrochemical behaviors of Zn-Fe alloy and Zn-Fe-TiO2 composite electrodeposition in alkaline zincate solutions were studied respectively by the methods of linear potential sweep and cyclic voltammetry. From the results it can be concluded that Zn shows under potential deposition, Zn-Fe alloy codeposition is anomalous codeposition and Zn-Fe alloy cathode polarization is increased with the introduction of additive. From the view point of electrochemistry, the reasons that the content of Fe in the Zn-Fe coating changes with the composition of the electrolyte and the process conditions altering and the relationship between the content of Fe and the appearance of the coating are interpreted. The cathode polarization of Zn-Fe alloy codeposition is enhanced obviously with addition of additive. In the course of composite electrodeposition, TiO2 has less promotion to electrodeposition of zinc ions than to iron ions, while the electrodeposition of iron ions improves the content of TiO2 in composite coating, which is in agreement with the results of process experiments.
