Zinc coating technology is widely used to protect low carbon steel pieces as it is used as a corrosion protection coating because its role as a sacrificial anode when zinc is in contact with steel and a corrosive medium is present. However, zinc is a relatively soft metal, so its abrasion resistance must be improved if its service life is to be prolonged. Composite coatings consist of a metal matrix with dispersed second phase micro/nano particles. They are a promising alternative to improve anticorrosive properties and mechanical properties (hardness, abrasion). The electro codeposition method consists of electrolytically depositing a composite coating from a deposition bath that contains second phase particles in dispersion. The morphology, crystalline structure, hardness and corrosion resistance will be in relation to the quantity and nature of the incorporated particles, as well as their distribution in the metal matrix. In this research, the electrodeposition of Zn-TiO2 composite coating was studied from ZnCl2-based electrolytes with TiO2 nanoparticles in dispersion. With the aim of improving the particle incorporation in the coating, it was proposed to use thiolated bath additives such as L-cysteine, Nacetylcysteine as possible anchor molecules between the metal matrix and the nanoparticles. Thiourea was also studied as an additive for comparative purposes. The galvanostatic deposition of Zn and Zn-TiO2 without and with additives was studied in an electrolytic cell with controlled hydrodynamic conditions. The influence of the variation in current density and concentration of the bath additives were studied. Zn-TiO2 coatings with L-cysteine and N-acetylcysteine additives were more compact and lacked porosities compared to coatings without additives or with thiourea additive. On the other hand, the highest percentages of incorporation of particles 1.15 wt% (with L-cysteine) and 1.00 wt% (with N-acetylcysteine) were obtained with 1.00 g/L additive concentration in the bath and a low current density (2 A/dm2). Also, the coatings with a higher percentage of particle incorporation showed preferential crystalline orientation (texture) of zinc in the pyramidal planes (101) and (102). However, deposition with thiourea additive showed the (112) plane as the preferred one. The latter has similar texture as the coating prepared without bath additives. Zn-TiO2 coating with 1.00 g/L N-acetylcysteine additive showed a minor corrosion rate in 3.5 % NaCl (1.10 μA/cm2). This may be due to a greater grade of compaction in the coating morphology and/or developed microstructure as a consequence of the use of this type of additive.
