Abstract

The corrosion behaviour of Zn–Co compositionally modulated multilayers (CMM) was studied using corrosion potential measurement and the neutral salt spray (NSS) method. It was established that the corrosion potentials of the CMM, deposited from a single bath, are significantly more positive than those deposited from a dual bath. The best corrosion resistance was found for multilayers consisting of four sublayers, each 3.0 μm thick, deposited both from a dual bath and from a single bath (with an oversublayer of Zn–Co 1%).
