Coating is widely used mainly to prevent from corrosion and enhance the physical and aesthetics properties. The study was conducted to characterize the surface properties of cobalt-nickel-iron (CoNiFe) alloy coating on mild steel. The coating was produced using the electrodeposition method. The electrodeposition method was carried out for 30 min with a current of 3.0 A. The average thickness of the alloy coating was 169 μm. CoNiFe coated mild steel resulted in a hardness value of 142.98 HV. Lower surface roughness was obtained for CoNiFe coated mild steel as compared to the uncoated mild steel. Slurry erosion wear test recorded a mass loss of only 0.1407 g. It can be concluded that deposited CoNiFe alloy coating could enhance the capabilities and surface performance of mild steel for various engineering applications. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
