Aircraft landing gear strut (1) comprising a main part (1a) extending along a main axis (X-X) of the strut and comprising an axle shaft (1b) extending in a plane (P) perpendicular to the main shaft (1a) of the strut, this axle shaft (1b) being designed to support at least one landing gear when (2a, 2b) equipped with brakes (3a, 3b) for braking the wheel, said axle shaft (1b) being made of steel. The axle shaft (1b) bears at least one layer of zinc-nickel alloy coating (C), this zinc-nickel alloy comprising, as a mass percent of the alloy, between 12% and 18% or nickel, at most 0.5% of elements other than nickel and zinc, the rest being zinc.
