Abstract

A coating for metallic faces comprising an alloy of aluminum with at least one of zinc, cadmium or manganese is proposed, whereby the alloy coating is applied onto the metal surface by means of electrodeposition using a non-aqueous electrolyte. The electrolyte comprises toluene as a solvent for chlorides of the alloy components. The coating may be used e.g. for corrosion protection.
