The demand for robust engineering materials demonstrating good tribological performance under arduous service conditions has forged the development of novel coating materials and techniques. In the field of surface engineering, multilayer structures have attracted great interest. Electrodeposition offers a versatile and controlled route to engineering coatings in tribology. Electrodeposited coatings can provide tailored electronic, magnetic, mechanical, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant characteristics as well as an improved load-bearing capability. The performance of multilayered electrodeposits can significantly exceed that of single layers. This paper critically reviews the fabrication, microstructure, engineering properties and potential applications of electrodeposited multilayer coatings. Such coatings can provide powerful, complementary additions to the toolkit for engineering electrodeposition, enabling future advances. Critical aspects requiring further R & D endeavors are identified.
