The electrodeposition of zinc on steel was performed by the partial immersion of the steel specimen and the zinc electrodes in plating solution using a DC supplier. While a fairly good zinc electrodeposition on mild steel substrate could be obtained in the acid zinc chloride solution, using either cassava juice or sugar cane juice alone, the synergistic effect of the two juices combined gives a far better resultapplication/pdfTJ Mechanical engineering and machineryArticle
