Abstract
Description
Deterioration of metals and alloys during service due to corrosion and wear phenomena
shortens materials’ life span and structural integrity particularly in aggressive environments
such as coastal and marine. This degradation also limits the use of these materials
in most industrial applications. Therefore, the improvement of the quality of these materials
in order to combat these challenges in industry remains critical. Surface modification
techniques are employed to enhance materials’ properties to enable better performance
and to extend their applications in demanding environments. Electrodeposition has been
a useful method developed to improve the corrosion and mechanical properties of materials.
In the present contribution, ample knowledge about electrodeposition of Zn composite/
nanocomposite coatings and their characteristics are reviewed to address coastal and
marine degradation of metals and alloys.
