Abstract

Nanocry stalline nickel (nc-Ni) coatings were produced by pulse electro deposition using Watts bath with sodium citrate and saccharin added as grain refining agents. The electrochemical nature of nc-Ni coatings, evaluated in 1M H2SO4 solution by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion rate of bulk nickel was lower than that of nc-Ni after stabilisation of free corrosion potential.
