Influence of crystalline Zn-Ag nanoalloy electrodeposits on their anti-corrosion and hardness performance in engineering applications
The main goal of the current work is to develop external excellence, hardness, and anti-corrosion quality materials for engineering and metal finishing applications. To design and prepare a binary type of Zn-Ag nanoparticles as an alloy substantial over on mild steel (MS) engineering substrate using...

Some different bath compositions, experimental settings, and parameters are used to optimize Zn-Ag nanoalloy coatings.
