Abstract:

Studied the conditions (Temperature, Time, Add Nano-Material and the adding percentage of these Nano- materials) which effected on ( Hardness, roughness and Corrosion Rate, the process that used was electro-less method for (54), Then these conditions would been input as parameters in (Single-Optimization and Multi-Optimization) which were two types of (ANOVA), To select the optimum sample from others, then tested by ( XRD, FESEM, Micro-Structure, Optical Profile-meter and Contact Angle) with others samples that tested. The optimum conditions of response sample for the single optimization were bath temperature (75 °C), plating time (60 min.), without addition Nano material (CNT or Gr)  to the (Ni-P mixture), And The optimum conditions of response sample for the multi optimization were (Nano material (CNTs), bath temperature (85°C), plating time (90 min.), and weight percentage of adding (CNT) was (3).
