The present study aims to codeposit mica into nickel matrix. The effects of mica concentration in the suspension, current density, temperature and pH of the plating bath on mica inclusion into the deposit were studied. Hardness, wear resistance and corrosion behaviour of the nickel-mica (Ni-mica) composite in 5 sodium chloride (NaCl) solution have been studied. Microstructure of the composite has also been investigated and reported. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
