Abstract: The comparison study of the relations between the hardness, wear capacity and heat treatment temperature of the electroless nickel deposition with the electroplating deposits of chromium were conducted .The results showed that the hardness and wear capacity of the electroplate technology were superior than that of electroless in general cases, but with the raising of the heat treatment temperature, the hardness and wear capacity of the samples treated by electroless deposition technology were superior obviously than that of electroplate.

Key words: electroless nickel deposition, electroplating chromium, wear capacity
