CSIR-Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute [CSIR-CSMCRI]: This technology involves electroplating compositions containing zinc sulfate, nickel sulfate, nickel chloride, boric acid, and organic additives for creating zinc-nickel (Zn-Ni) alloy coatings on steel. The method utilizes direct current to deposit these compositions, resulting in coatings with a uniform microstructure and enhanced corrosion resistance. The technology is applicable in industries requiring durable and protective coatings on steel substrates, such as automotive and construction. The compositions offer a higher rate of deposition, making the process efficient for industrial applications.
