The Nickel-Niobium Pentoxide Composite Coating is formed by electrochemically depositing nickel (Ni) and niobium pentoxide (Nb 2 O 5 ). An investigation was conducted on corrosion resistance, microhardness, roughness, and deposit morphology. A comparison was made between composites and pure nickel coatings in scratch and contact angle tests. There is a homogeneous particle distribution with a maximum particle size of 99.27 µm in the coating. Adding Nb 2 O 5  particles to the composite coating improved corrosion resistance with a maximum inhibitory efficiency of 87.9%. An increase of 44% in microhardness was observed for the Ni-Nb 2 O 5  composite coating. The scratch test revealed no adhesion cracks and delamination at the surface of the cracks. The composite coating exhibited a hydrophobic nature in the contact angle measurement.
