Abstract

Ni–P and Ni–Co–P amorphous alloy deposits were obtained by electrodeposition at 80 °C on carbon steel substrates. The influence of the electrolyte Co2+ concentration and of applied current density was investigated. The corrosion behaviour of amorphous and crystalline deposits was evaluated by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in NaCl 0.1 M solution at room temperature. Impedances were measured for samples under total immersion (free potential against time) and for polarized samples in predefined regions of the polarization curves. It was found that the alloy deposit composition is highly affected by the composition of the electrolyte but displays no significant dependence on applied current density. The results showed that the presence of Co on Ni–P amorphous alloys improves the deposit performance in the studied corrosive medium. It was also verified that the amorphous structure provides higher corrosion resistance to both Ni–P and Ni–Co–P alloys.
