Presence of $\alpha$-phase, Fe$_{75}$Zn$_{25}$, Fe$_{3}$Zn$_{10}$ and $\eta$-phase in electrodeposited Fe—Zn alloys is determined by the method of X-ray diffractometry. The phase proportion varies with the increase of zinc concentration in the sulphate electrolyte. Discovered formation of Fe$_{75}$Zn$_{25}$ phase during co-deposition of iron and zinc can be the cause of creation of previously revealed irregular surface relief with anomalously high roughness. Revision of Fe$_{75}$Zn$_{25}$ phase atomic composition is accomplished by the numerical method based on precise value of the crystal-lattice spacing and taking into account elastic strain caused by zinc atoms, which are dissolved in the $\alpha$-Fe crystal lattice.
Key words: Fe—Zn alloys, phase composition, electrodeposited alloys, coatins.
