The article presents the results of kinetic investigates of electrodeposition of a composite electrochemical coating based on a nickel-boron alloy. Current efficiency, polarization potentiodynamic researches had shown the joint participation in the electrodeposition process of finely dispersed compounds of nickel hydroxides, poorly soluble nickel and boron compounds present in the electrolyte or formed during electrolysis, and ultradispersed diamond introduced into the electrolyte. Comparison of 2D and 3D scans of the surfaces of the formed coatings confirmed the leveling effect of additives, as well as sparingly soluble nickel and boron compounds on the structure of coatings. The proposed composite electrochemical coatings can be used instead of chrome coatings when restoring parts and units of agricultural machinery.
