Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and graphite (C g particles were co-deposited with nickel–phosphorous (Ni–P) coatings through electroless deposition process. Surface morphology of the was analysed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) used to detect structure coatings. Microhardness Ni–P–C –TiO composite coating showed a moderate hardness between Ni–P–TiO coating. DSC thermograms indicated that thermostability Ni–P could not be affected TiO and/or C particles. Moreover, friction coefficient corrosion rate decreased addition
