Electroless plating of Sn/Cu/Zn triple layer on AA6082 aluminum alloy

To enhance the corrosion resistance of an aluminum (Al) 6082 alloy, our research used electroless deposition to coat a trio sequence of Zn–Cu–Sn layers: zinc, copper and tin. To isolate the reactions and micro-mechanisms in the tin coating, the Zn–Cu layering parameters of time, temperature, and bat...
