“…Various surface modification techniques for the preparation of alloy coatings have been implemented as common methods such as physical vapor deposition (Cui et al , 2021; Vannozzi et al , 2018), electrodeposition (Zhang and Zhang, 2019; Mahalingam and Bera, 2020; Ma et al , 2020) and electroless plating (Wang et al , 2020; Shi et al , 2017). Among all technologies, electroless plating of Ni-P alloy coatings was preferred because of the low cost and unique preparation advantages (Shu et al , 2019; Li et al , 2019; Gutierrez et al , 2017). Numerous transition metals for example Mn (Jiang et al , 2019), Fe (Yang et al , 2019), Cu (Wang et al , 2020; Chen et al , 2017), Mo (Rosas-Laverde et al , 2020), Co (Sarika et al , 2021) and W (Tian et al , 2021; de Oliveira et al , 2018) have been reported in many publications, which have been used to broaden the performance of electroless Ni-P coatings.…”
