The corrosion behavior of Zn？Ni alloys in synthetic sea water （3.5% NaCl, mass fraction） was studied using Tafel plot and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） techniques. The corrosion resistance of the investigated alloys with various Ni contents （0.5%？10%, mass fraction） was compared with that of Zn. The results show that the corrosion resistance of Zn？Ni alloys （except 0.5% Ni） is superior to that of Zn. The 10% Ni gives the highest corrosion resistance due to the formation ofγ-Zn3Ni withγ-ZnNi phases in the alloy. In the case of alloy I （0.5% Ni）, it exhibits a higher corrosion rate （less corrosion resistance） than Zn.展开更多
