The aim of this paper is to fabricate the Ni-P-B and Ni-P-B-W alloys coatings by electroless coating technique on
the mild steel substrate. A comparative investigation of morphological and hardness properties between Ni-P-B
and Ni-P-B-W coatings is employed. Although electroless Ni-P-B coating exhibited the highest hardness value and
corrosion resistance, electroless Ni-P-B-W coating showed the lowest wear rate and friction coefficient when
subjected to dry sliding condition as compared to untreated steel and Ni-P-B coating.
