Effects of Electrolyte on the Morphology of .ETA.-Zinc Crystals Electrodeposited on Steel Substrate.

Abstract

The effects of electrolyte composition, i.e., sulfate or chloride bath, on the morphologies and the crystal- lographic properties of the n-zinc crystals deposited on a steel substrate have been investigated by means of back reflection X-ray Laue technique and scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained are as follows:
