Electrodeposition of Zn-Co alloy from an acid sulphate bath has been carried out in this research work. The effects of metal ion ratio in the bath, pH current density, temperature, stirring, thickness and concentrations of triethanolamine and thiaminehydrochloride on the alloy composition and on cathodic current efficiency have been investigated. The deposition potentials of Zn-Co alloy are less noble of zinc and cobalt. The structure of Zn-Co alloy was investigated by X-ray diffraction indicates zinc structure. The surface morphology of alloy deposits is found to depend on the percentage of cobalt in the alloy. Under the optimum operating conditions, Zn-Co alloy deposition follows anomalous co-deposition.
