Abstract

The use of multilayered electrodeposits, to enhance coating performance especially in corrosive environments, has uncertain origins but has been systematically practiced and optimized since the 1950s. The background to such systems will be traced, examples given of their usage, and the recent development of nanometre multilayers by pulsed plating techniques described.
