Abstract
This review emphasizes on the development of electroless nickel composite coatings by incorporating different types of material and interlayers to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings. Electroless nickel coatings are the main focus of this review as it possesses excellent mechanical and tribological properties such as, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance. Besides, electroless nickel coating may behave as lubricating as well as wear resistance coating compared to other interlayer coatings. Tribology aspect is concern on the friction and wear phenomena which involved the moving parts that measures the overall systems’ life, efficiency, and reliability. Interlayer coatings are applied to improve the adhesion between the substrate and the outer coating materials. Various materials are used as interlayers either pure or compound metallic elements.
