Crystallographic Analysis of Electrodeposited Zinc Crystals on Fe Substrate.

Abstract

The morphologyand the crystallography of n-zinc crystals electrodeposited on a steel substrate have been examined mainly by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray Laue back reflection technique. The morphology of ry-crystals varies with increasing the current density from thin layered plates to dendrite structures. The layered crystals form directly on the steel substrate with a specific variant of the Burgers' orientation relationship described as {1 lO}.//(OOOl)n and
