Abstract
Ternary Zn-Fe-Cr alloys were electrodeposited under potentiostatic conditions; surface morphology and corrosion
properties were investigated and contrasted with the characteristics of Zn-Fe electrodeposits. The results indicated that
crystallographic structures of Zn-Cr-Fe deposits with Cr content 1 to 2 at.% have the same structure as Zn-Fe alloy. It is
observed that Zn-Co-Ni alloy electrodeposition is anomalous type. The polarization measurement results indicated that the
Zn-Cr-Fe alloy coatings more protective than Zn-Fe coating.
