摘要
Pulsed electrodeposition (PED) with square wave has successfully been applied to deposit microcrystalline chromium from Cr-dimethylformamide (DMF) bath. The influence of the duty cycle, on-time, off-time, frequency, and pulse peak current on thickness, current efficiency, and hardness were investigated. Based on the analysis of the microstructure, the corrosion behavior of both direct-current deposited (DCD) and pulse-current deposited (PED) chromium in 3.5% NaCl solution was studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results indicated that both pulsed electrodeposits and direct-current deposits have high charge transfer resistance Rct and very low Icorr compared with mild-steel substrate.
