Acid electroplating baths for bright zinc plating containing a zinc salt, ammonium chloride and bath additives for providing bright, ductile, fine grained, adherent deposits over a broad current density range. An important embodiment OF THE present invention is directed to the electroplating of zinc from mildly acidic electrolytic baths. One approach has involved the utilization of alkaline solutions containing alkali metal pyrophosphates in combination with complexed zinc compounds.
