In the present work carbon was electrochemically coated with Cu-Sn-Zn ternary alloy coatings from an electrolyte containing copper chloride, tin chloride and zind chloride. The morphology and chemical composition of the deposits were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), respectively. The results exhibited that Cu-Sn-Zn coatings with 5,5-dimethylhydantoin as complexing agent contain a large amount of copper. It is found that sodium formate was the suitable complexing agents in production of Cu-Sn-Zn ternary alloy due to its uniform and smoothly depositions coated on substrate.
