Production of Cu-Sn-Zn Ternary Alloy Coating via Electroplating

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research deals with the interest in production of Cu-Sn-Zn ternary alloy coating via electroplating on carbon substrate by using less hazardous electrolyte. A detailed study was made on the effect of different concentration of reducing and complexing agents. The surface morphology and phase structure of the deposited layers were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The results confirmed that the layers of Cu-Sn-Zn was obtained with this less hazardous electrolyte.
