This research signifies an attempt to apply composite coating by co-deposition coating and assessing, enhancement the Nickel coatings features, by adding the particles of silicon-carbide to solution of electrodeposited. Stainless steel specimens have been subject to electroplating coating utilizing Nickel and nanosilicon carbide particles (70-100 nm) with various amounts (16, 24, 32 and 40) g/L. After coating, the specimens were tested by SEM, AFM, impeded in a solution with 3.5 percent NaCl to investigate the corrosion performance. Then testing the microhardness, and wear resistance. Results obtained from this work showed a great reduction in corrosion currents caused by adding of inert nanoparticles. These enhancements had been detected on all conducted tests for corrosion and wear.
