An aqueous acidic zinc-nickel plating bath is described. The plating baths generally comprise(A) zinc ions;(B) nickel ions;(C) an amount, sufficient to provide a level and bright zinc-nickel alloy electrodeposit, of at least one polymeric sulfur-containing compound having the general formulaRS(R'O).sub.n H (I)orS-[(R'O).sub.n H]2 (II) wherein r is an alkyl group containing up to about 24 carbon atoms, each R' is independently an alkylene group containing 2 or 3 carbon atoms, and each n is independently an integer of from 1 to about 100; and(D) a ductility-improviding amount of at least one acetylenic derivative obtained by sulfonating an intermediate obtained by(D-1) reacting an acetylenic alcohol or diol with a halogenated epoxide; or(D-2) reacting an acetylenic alcohol or diol with an alkylene oxide followed by reaction with a halogenated epoxide.Preferably, additional additives are included in the plating baths to improve the properties of the deposited alloy. For example, aromatic carbonyl-containing compounds to improve the brightness of the alloy, and aromatic sulfonic acids or bath-soluble salts thereof are useful additive as solubilizers. The plating baths of the invention are effective over a wide current density range.
