Abstract  

Galvanic corrosion behavior of couples of cold rolled steel SS400 and hot rolled steel ST12 with chrome-free Zn/Al coating or Zn/Ni alloy electroplating was studied in 3.5%NaCl (mass fraction) solution by means of potentiodynamic polarization and galvanic method. The results showed that the couple of SS400 and ST12 with Zn/Ni alloy electroplating exhibited a weaker tendency of galvanic corrosion, a higher open circuit potential and a smaller galvanic current rather than that with chrome-free Zn/Al coating. While the free-corrosion current of Zn/Ni alloy electroplating coating was smaller than that of Zn/Al coating. Therefore, Zn/Ni alloy electroplating is extremely promising coating for the auto-mobile fastener to replace the traditional Zn electroplating.

Key words:  galvanic corrosion      chrome-free Zn/Al dacromet coating      Zn/Ni alloy electroplating      polarization curve
