The plating parameter effect of zinc deposition on mild steel substrates was investigated. The results
showed an improved surface finished and homogeneous layer. The distance between the anode and the
cathode on voltage, plating time and coating thickness were considered. The mild steel was deposited
into solution of zinc bath for varying voltage between 0.5 v and 1.0v. It was discovered that the sample
plated at 0.8v for 15 minutes gives the best plating deposition and appearance. The surface
morphology of the plated sample was analyzed by Focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy
(FIB-SEM), AFM and X-ray diffraction
