The effect of the polyethyledglycol(PEG) on the surface morphology and crystal orientation of electrodeposited zinc from a chloride (1.5M Zinc+7.0M chloriode) have been studied by means of electrochemical methodes, scanning electron microscopy, surface appearance measurement and X-ray diffraction patterns. The resistance of electrodeposit increased, whereas the evolution of hydrogen decreased with incrasing of molecular weight of the PEG. Large grains of electrodeposit were obtained from bath in the absence of organid additive. When the PEG was added, fine grained crystals were observed and the surface roughness was relatively small, but surface appearance deteriorated. The preferred orientation with a(101) plane parallel to the surface was obtained from the PEG addited bath.
