Zn-Ni alloy was electrodeposited on steel by constant-current, pulse and pulse reverse methods. The composition and physical property of the deposit depended upon the techniques and current density employed. The deposit obtained via pulse reverse and pulse methods contained more concentrated Ni, in contrast to that by constant-current electrolysis, as the average current density was fixed. In each method, the Ni content in the deposit increased with increasing electrolysis current. The microhardness of the deposit was primarily determined by its Ni content; however, the corrosion resistance was governed not only by its Ni content but also by its microstructure.
