This article aims to study influence of controllable factors on micro hardness of Ni composite coatings. The experimental plan was set on Taguchi’s techniques with three levels of three parameters: stirring speed, current density and temperature of electrolyte. Then, the obtained results was treated by the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results show that stirring speed and current density are two significant factors which impact the most on the hardness of Ni composite coatings while temperature is not much affected. This research also gives a set of optimal values of these factors and it can increase two times of the micro hardness of Ni composite coatings when comparing with Ni coatings.
