This brief research focuses on evaluating the protective capacity of electrochemically deposited Zn coatings, both with and without the addition of benzalacetone. Two independent electrochemical methods, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Potentiodynamic Scanning (PDS), were employed after exposing the samples to a 0.01 M NaCl model corrosive medium (MCM) for 24 hours. The results demonstrate the discernible barrier performance of the Zn protective films compared to the bare steel substrates.enConference Paper
