Abstract
The present invention is related to a method for electrolytically depositing a zinc-nickel alloy layer on a substrate, wherein the method comprises an interrupting of the execution of the electrolytical deposition of a zinc-nickel alloy layer on the surface of a substrate by terminating applying the current from the external current source to each of the soluble zinc anode(s) and to each of the soluble nickel anode(s); and wherein afterwards at least one soluble zinc anode, which is remaining in the electrolysis reaction container, is electrically connected by an electrical connection element to form an electrical connection to at least one soluble nickel anode, which is remaining in the electrolysis reaction container, for at least a part of the defined period of time in which no current from the external current source is applied to each of the soluble zinc anode(s) and to each of the soluble nickel anode(s).
