Electrochemical Doping of Zinc Coatings with Chromium and Nickel Coatings with Phosphorus

Аннотация

The electrochemical doping of coatings with metals and nonmetals is discussed. Using the examples of the electrodeposition of zinc–chromium and nickel–phosphorus coatings, it has been shown that the presence of donors of the electrodeposited coating components in the inner sphere of a heteronuclear or heteroligand complex contributes to their coreduction and the formation of an alloy. The composition, morphology, and properties of the coatings have been characterized. It has been shown that the corrosion resistance of the zinc–chromium coatings is two times higher than that of the zinc coatings. After storage, the nickel–phosphorus coatings preserve their solderability with low-temperature solders.
