Zn and Zn-Bi coatings were electroplated on mild steel substrate by direct and pulse current (PC) techniques. The effects of Bi and deposition method on the phase, microstructure and mechanical properties of Zn-based coatings have been studied. Results showed that the crystal orientation and microst...
