Abstract The electroplating of zinc-nickel alloys from a chloride bath containing two brighteners (a phenolic derivative and an unsaturated aromatic compound) and a levelling agent (an aromatic carboxylate) has been studied under different plating conditions. The composition and morphology of the alloys depended on the concentration of all the additives and also on the temperature. As a general effect, these additives smooth the deposit and refine the grain size. By means of scanning electron microscopy, it was possible to classify the deposit morphologies according to the type and concentration of the additives. The resistance of the alloys to corrosion was studied by means of a neutral salt-spray test.
