In this work, the Zn-Co coatings were synthesized on AISI 4140 steel and aluminum plates by using potentiostatic electrodeposition technique in sulphate-based acidic baths with 0, 20, 40 and 60 gl¯¹ of borax pentahydrate, as additive. The effect of borax pentahydrate on the microstructure of the samples was observed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer. The deposition process was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The effect of borax pentahydrate on the corrosion resistance of the samples was studied by potentiodynamic polarization technique. The results have demonstrated, that the addition of borax pentahydrate was in favor of the growth of grains. The morphology of pyramidal islands on the surface was changed to a more flat structure. The results have also demonstrated that the effect of borax pentahydrate was not monotonous. With increasing concentration, the corrosion potential was at minimum and the charge transfer resistance R_{t} was at maximum for the sample obtained from the bath with 60 gl¯¹ of borax pentahydate, indicating that this sample showed the best corrosion resistance. It was found that current density first decreased and than increased, due to adsorption of a complex of borax pentahydrate and/or changes in the morphology, however, the initial deposition potential was not affected. The addition of borax pentahydrate to the bath led to formation of the best Zn-Co deposits, composed of coalesced globular fine grains, smaller than ≈2 μm in diameter. In addition, all of the studied Zn-Co deposits consisted of η phases. It is suggested that Zn-Co deposits produced in the bath containing 60 gl¯¹ of borax pentahydrate probably offer sacrificial protection to the steel substrate.

Polyaniline (PANI) was successfully deposited by means of cyclic voltammetry technique from 0.10 M aniline containing 0.30 M oxalic acid and 1 g/l H₃BO₃ solution on AISI 4140 steel electrode. In this investigation nominate scan rates 25, 50, 75, and 100 mV/s have been examined. PANI film was characterized using optical microscope; it was covered with a dark green-yellow homopolymer film of strongly adherent homogeneous characteristic. The corrosion behaviour of the steel electrodes with and without PANI film in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated through anodic polarization curves. The results indicated that PANI coating led to decrease of the permeability of metallic plating. The PANI homopolymer film provided an effective barrier property and a remarkable anodic protection to substrate.

Zinc-iron alloy plating (ZnFe) was successfully deposited on AISI 4140 steel applying cyclic voltammetry technique. Polyaniline (PANI) film was synthesized with cyclic voltammetry technique from 0.10 M aniline containing 0.30 M oxalic acid solution on zinc-iron plated carbon steel (AISI4140/ZnFe) electrode. ZnFe film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction technique. The corrosion behaviour of zinc-iron deposited carbon steel electrodes with and without PANI film in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated with polarization curves. Effect of pH and current density on the synthesis of the aniline was also examined. The results showed that PANI coating led to decrease of the permeability of metallic plating. The PANI homopolymer film provided an effective barrier property on zinc-iron coating and a remarkable anodic protection to substrate. ZnFe particles had more homogeneous, smooth prismatic structure. It is suggested that ZnFe/PANI deposits produced in the bath applying 0.1 mA/cm² current density probably offer bigger protection to the steel substrate.

Thin film brass alloys were galvanostatically electrodeposited from non-cyanide citrate solutions. Aqueous sulphate solutions were used as deposition medium. It was aimed to understand the effect of ultrasonication of the solutions before electrodeposition process. Ultrasonication was not applied during deposition. This method was utilized to change solution characteristics, by applying high energy via cavitation mechanism, which would result in changes in resultant film properties. X-ray diffraction technique was used to investigate phase formation in samples. Moreover X-ray diffractograms were also used to calculate grain size values. Cu and Zn elements were codeposited successfully to form brass alloys. When phase formations in the samples were compared to each other, it was concluded that although there are small differences between X-ray diffractograms of samples, ultrasonic treatment before electrodeposition is not an effective way to alter phase characteristics of CuZn alloy samples, since all samples have shown similar X-ray diffraction graphs. Grain size is found to get smaller with presence of ultrasonication, extending ultrasonication time caused only small random changes in grain size.

Copper zinc alloys were electrodeposited in the form of thin films. Electrodeposition process was carried out in non-cyanide aqueous medium, under constant current. Effect of pre-deposition ultrasonication of solution was investigated. In other words ultrasonic treatment was applied only before the electrodeposition. Solutions were subjected to high-energy ultrasonication for increasing times. Cyclic voltammetry was used to understand changes occurring due to duration of ultrasonication. No ultrasonication was applied during deposition. Atomic composition of resultant films were revealed by MP-AES. It was found that implementation of ultrasonic treatment before electrodeposition affects CV characteristics, when compared to non-ultrasonicated solution. Atomic composition of fabricated samples were found to be close to each other, some of them showing more deviation.

Cobalt-Nickel alloys have been widely used for decoration, in magnetic recording devices and corrosion resistance applications, etc. In this study, the influences of cobalt amount in electrolyte on the magnetic and structural properties of the electrodeposited Co-Ni alloys were investigated. An electrolyte solution, consisting of cobalt sulfate, nickel sulfate, nickel chloride and boric acid, was used in electrodeposition. The electrochemical investigation of Co-Ni alloys was completed using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic studies. The morphological and structural analyses of the alloys were performed using inductively coupled plasma, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques. The effect of cobalt concentration on the magnetic properties, phase structure and grain size of the alloys was investigated. Magnetic hysteresis results indicate that the amount of the cobalt content in the electrolyte has a strong influence on the ferromagnetic behavior of fabricated alloys. Results of the study show that changing the electrodeposition parameters, such as composition of electrolyte solution, allows to fabricate alloys with different properties.
