In recent years, advanced new metal composites, metalceramic composites, and other hard and wear resistant materials have been used more widely as machinery parts in industry. In order to machine these advanced materials, ultra hard and ultra wear resistant tools are required to supply the demands of a higher productivity accompanied by the accuracy of geometry and dimensions of work-pieces as well as the fine finishing of working surfaces of the machined pieces. These requirements have been fulfilled by tools coated with super-hard materials such as diamond and cubic boron nitride (c-BN). Although diamond is known as the hardest material, diamond tools cannot apply to machining ferrous materials where relatively higher temperature is generated due to the problem of the dissolution of carbon in iron at higher temperature [1]. In contrast, c-BN known as the second hardest material after diamond has good thermal stability and chemical inertness regarding iron [2]. These advantages of c-BN have opened up the ferrous machining markets. Nowadays, c-BN coated tools are widely used to machine iron and iron based alloy materials in the field of automotive and aerospace industries. Although c-BN can coat on cutting, drilling and grinding tools using various modified physical and chemical vapor deposition methods [3–6], the deposits by these methods are usually contaminated with the hexagonal phase (h-BN)[2, 3]. Additionally these methods are expensive and therefore, have been commercially substituted with the electrolytic composite plating technique in which particles of c-BN are codeposited with metals such as nickel, cobalt, etc. However, the performance of these coatings depends upon the particle content in the metal matrix, and generally, high particle content is required. In an attempt to incorporate high amount of organic [7] and inorganic [8–11] particles into a nickel matrix, various techniques have been developed in our laboratory. Previously, we have demonstrated that the composite coatings prepared by a two step electrolytic method are rich in particle content and these composites exhibited good anti-wear performance [8]. In the present investigation, we carried out the coating of Ni/c-BN composite film by the two step method and its anti-wear performance was studied.In the first step, c-BN particles were electrophoretically deposited on a copper substrate. Then, electrodeposition of nickel on this substrate was carried out in the second step. For the electrophoretic deposition, 5 g dm− 3 of the c-BN powder (0–2 µm, BORAZON, GE Micron Products, USA) was dispersed in an ethanol
