Abstract
The manuscript presented the successfully synthesis of Zn-Fe alloy thin film deposition in sulfate bath on mild steel substrate. The hexadanted ligand EDTA was incorporated in alloy solution as corrosion inhibitor. All depositions were conducted at constant current density 2 mA/cm2 for 40 min. The morphological characterization of the thin film was analyzed with X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Confocal laser microscopy. The Tafel polarization experiment was performed to determine the anticorrosion behavior of thin film in 3.5% NaCl and 0.1 M HCl solutions. The corresponding maximum corrosion efficiency of reinforced EDTA alloy is 93.57 and 94.02% in 3.5% NaCl and 0.1 M HCl solutions respectively.
