Investigation on Wear and Corrosion Behavior of Cu, Zn, and
This study yielded good insight into the mechanism behind the improvement of properties by the electroplating of corten steel with Cu, Zn, and Ni. The Ni-coated corten steel specimens exhibited the lowest corrosion rate of 0.8525 mils/year and wear weight loss of 0.003 g, when compared with Cu and Zn-coated specimens.
