However, conventional cyanide‑based electrolytes present severe environmental and safety challenges due to the high toxicity of free cyanide ions. In recent years, significant research efforts have been directed toward developing environmentally benign, non‑cyanide copper plating processes. This study presents a systematic comparison of four promising non‑cyanide plating systems—citric acid–tartrate, citrate, HEDP (1‑hydroxyethylidene‑1,1‑diphosphonic acid), and electroless copper plating on low‑carbon steel substrates. The corrosion‑protective performance of the resulting coatings was thoroughly evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Coating thickness, adhesion, and surface morphology were also characterized to correlate microstructural features with electrochemical behavior. Results indicate that the citric acid–tartrate plating bath produces the most uniform and adherent coatings with the highest thickness (~8.15 µm), leading to the lowest corrosion current density (3.98 µA cm<sup>–2</sup>) and the most noble corrosion potential (–293 mV). HEDP‑plated samples exhibited moderate protection, while citrate‑plated and electroless‑plated coatings showed comparatively inferior performance. The optimized parameters for citric acid–tartrate plating were determined as: bath temperature 40°C, current density 1.5 A dm<sup>–2</sup>, pH 8.5–9, and plating time 30–40 min.

The results show that DCT can significantly increase the dislocation density of the alloy and enhance the dislocation strengthening effect, among which the DCT-9 scheme exhibits the optimal strengthening effect. However, DCT has no significant impact on the morphology, size, quantity of coarse second phases or the average grain size of the alloy. In terms of mechanical properties, DCT can improve the alloy’s hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength, with a slight decrease in plasticity. The DCT-9 alloy achieves the optimal comprehensive mechanical properties, with a yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation after fracture of 808.2, 837.6 MPa, and 2.9%, respectively.
