Zinc (Zn)-composite coatings are still in demand as good corrosion barrier coatings to protect steel substrates from corrosion environment. In this article, the Ni doped SnO2nanoparticles were synthesized and used as a composite additive for Zn-coating. The synthesis was carried out by the combustion method using citric acid as a fuel. The Zn-Ni doped SnO2composite coating was produced on mild steel by an electroplating technique. The surface characterization and elemental analysis of the coated samples were examined by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), scanning electron microscopic images (SEM) followed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDAX). The surface morphology of Zn-Ni dop...
