Abstract
Copper possess high thermal conductivity, highly durability and specifically applied to various field of applications like electrical and mechanical machinery equipments, excellent reproducibility and workability, apart these consistencies, it’s quite cheap and it is one among the metals, available abundantly other than good conducting metals like silver. But it has got poor mechanical properties such as wear resistance and hardness. The main disadvantage is its resistance in aggressive environments which can be solved and sorted by the coating it with zinc to form ZnO. It is the best way to protect copper components because of its ability to form Cu-Zn components, which is more resistant to oxidation. Zn is very reactive with oxygen and form ZnO which is impermeable for most of the atmosphere elements, so their presences on the surface of the coating passivity the substrate from further oxidation. For this specific study, deposition of Zinc on copper plate by varying different parameters (i.e., longitudinal feed, speed) on vertical milling machine. The effects of longitudinal feed on the geometry and mechanical properties of the coated metals are investigated by various techniques and also the coating thickness from microstructure of Zinc coating on Copper substrates using moto software.
