In this study, the effect of 2842, MS58 ve Al 6013 materials on electroplate Ni coating and the change of surface roughness after coating were investigated. In the experiments, Ç 2842 steel, MS 58 brass and Al 6013 aluminum alloy materials are coated with Ni. These materials were turned at different feed rates (0,065-0,13 mm/rev) by lathe and different surface roughness were obtained on the samples. Then the samples were coated with Ni. After the coating process, coating thickness and surface roughness were measured. Visual examinations were made and coating quality was examined. As a result of the experiments, a thicker Ni layer (43 µm) was obtained on the MS 58 material according to other materials. The high electrical conductivity of the coated material increases the coating speed. However, the low conductivity value improves the quality of the coating surface. The surface roughness value of the steel material has decreased in the range of 33-57% thanks to the coating. In Al 6013 material, surface roughness was increased in rate of 94-107% after coating, at the same time superficial defects in the form of pits occured.
