Abstract
The processes occurring during zinc immersion plating of aluminium have been studied in alkaline medium. The mechanism of immersion zinc deposition on aluminium has been elucidated by studying the kinetics of the partial electrode reactions involved in this complex process. The diffusion of zincate ions has been shown to play a decisive role on the cathodic reaction kinetics as well as on the global (cathodic and anodic) reaction rate.
