RESUMO

The electroplated zinc alloy coatings present better corrosion resistance than pure zinc, but they need a posterior passive treatment aiming the reduction of the formation of white corrosion products. Chromate conversion process is the process that, until now, presents the best results as passive treatment for zinc alloy coatings, although it presents high toxicity. The first studies with the objective of the elimination of hexavalent chromium made use of oxyanions similar to chromate, such as molybdate, vanadate and permanganate, being molybdate the most studied one, due to its non toxic nature and its ability in reducing stainless steel pit corrosion. In molybdate oxide process, the passive layer can be formed by immersion or by cathodic treatment in ammonium or sodium molybdate solutions. Another passive process, that has been studied for substituting hexavalent chromium process is based on rare earth. However, in literature, it is found only results for aluminium and stainless steel corrosion control, but not for electroplated zinc alloy coatings. The purpose of the present work is to study the use of molybdate and rare earth in passive processes for electroplated ZnNi and ZnCo alloy coatings. The coatings are prepared using commercial bath, being analyzed, in plating process, the use of continuous and pulse current coating electrodeposition. The effect of average current density and duty cycle values on coatings corrosion resistance are investigated. In passive processes, cathodic treatment in ammonium molybdate solution; electrochemical treatment and immersion treatment in cerium nitrate and ammonium molybdate solutions were considered. The morphology of ZnNi and ZnCo coatings and of passive layers are evaluated using Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM). Composition of zinc alloy coatings was determined by EDS technique and corrosion resistance was evaluated by Electrochemical Impedance technique
