Zinc plating using the principle of sacrificial anode is used to prevent steel corrosion. Pure zinc plating has some problems and Zn-Mn alloy plating has been studied as one of the measures to increase the corrosion resistance. Zn-Mn alloy plating can be applied to automotive parts requiring high corrosion resistance despite high plating cost. In this study, Zn-Mn alloy plating was electrodeposited in acidic chloride solution. The effects of electrolytic conditions on the composition of the alloy plating in the chloride bath were investigated. As the current density increased, the Zn content decreased and the Mn content increased. As the temperature of the electrolyte increased, the Zn content decreased and the Mn content increased.
