Nickel (II) sulfate hexahydrate and nickel (II) chloride hexahydrate were used as the nickel source and borane trimethylamine complex (TMAB) was used as a source of boron. The average particle size of hBN was 100 nm. Octylphenyl ether (Triton X-100) was used as the surfactant. The effect of surfactant concentration in terms of structural, nano-micro mechanical, tribological and corrosion protection performance of the coatings was investigated. The results of the study showed that Triton X-100 has beneficial effect on the mechanical, tribological and corrosion protection properties of the composite coatings thanks to its stabilizing effect on the deposition suspension. According to this study, Triton X-100 may be used as a surfactant for the electrodeposition of metal matrix composites.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNi-BCompositeNanoindentationNanoscratchWearCorrosionArticle38110.1016/j.surfcoat.2019.1251312-s2.0-85075366308Q1WOS:000508497500052Q1
