Synergistic Effect of Additives on Properties of Zinc Electrodeposit

The textbook "Synergistic Effect of Additives on Properties of Zinc Electrodeposit" offers a comprehensive analysis of corrosion protection methods for steel, particularly through the electroplating of zinc. Steel is a versatile material widely used in various sectors such as construction, automotive, and agriculture, but it is susceptible to corrosion. The electroplating of zinc provides an effective solution by extending the lifespan of steel through the formation of a sacrificial anodic layer. This book examines the role of additives, such as brighteners and levelers, that enhance the properties of the zinc electrodeposit. Various combinations of these additives are analyzed to develop a zinc coating with high corrosion resistance and efficiency. The results of this study are significant for the industry, as they can contribute to the optimization of electroplating processes.
