Abstract
⺠Rare earth element (Ce) has been successfully codeposited in NiP matrix. ⺠Surface analysis carried out by XPS showed that the Ce is present in +3 and +4 oxidation state. ⺠Palladium stability test indicated that the Ce salts in electroless nickel bath has reduced the stability. ⺠Cerium codeposition in NiP matrix has increased the microhardness both in as-plated and annealed conditions. ⺠Higher thermal stability has been obtained by Ce incorporation.
