The electrochemical deposition of alloys with superior properties than pure metals has shown an awakening to the potentials of electrolytic routes to meet the requirements of modern technology in recent years. The deposited alloys can be relatively denser and harder, more corrosion and wear resistant, more protective of basis metals and better in magnetic properties which enable them to find applications in rocketry, computer technology, aerospace industries, etc. Further alloys containing Titanium with Cobalt or Zinc are known to exhibit a high degree of resistivity against destructive environment influences and can fight against corrosion. The electroplating of ternary thin film of various compositions containing zinc and cobalt with a third metal has been extensively studied, but very few attempts have been made to incorporate titanium into such films which could render good mechanical properties to the alloy. In the present study, the possibility of electrodeposition of titanium with zinc and cobalt from a sulphate bath under different electrolytic conditions has been investigated
