Composite coatings with nickel matrix and ceramic reinforcement particles have high ability to improve surface properties, such as good corrosion and abrasion resistance. In this study, Ni-P composite coating was coated with ZrO2 and TiO2 ceramic particles on the AISI 316 steel substrate through direct current plating method. The effect of the current densities of 20, 30, 40 and 50 mA/cm2 on th...
