The nickel plating electrolytic from Watts bath (solution of NiSO4.6H2O, NiCl2.6H2O and H3BO3), is used to produce decorative coatings, that have a resistance to tension and hardness relatively low. Therefore, they are not recommended in applications of engineering where distortion of the piece can occur. The purpose of this thesis has been to establish an electrolytic process that improves the properties of hardness and corrosion resistance of the coatings and of this way to allow this can be used in certain applications of engineering. To achieve this the electrolytic process used a cell composed of, inert anodes of graphite, a cathode of bronze, a current rectifier, and a Watts bath, being this last subject of incorporations of Co in mode of salt of CoSO4 each time majors establishing thus solutions with growing concentrations of Co. Additional to this the process also establishes variations of the operating parameters, such as current intensity for values of 2A,3A and 4A and electrodeposition times for 5, 10, 15 and 20 min. The coating adhered to bronze substrate was subjected to various tests in order to known its values of hardness and corrosion resistance, as well as its morphology and composition. The analysis of X ray Fluorescence, X ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy allowed to determine respectively the composition in mass, the crystalline structure and morphology of the coatings. The Vickers hardness test allowed to know the hardness values of the coatings of pure nickel and Ni-Co alloys, being the hardest the 65.64% WNicoating (34.36% WCocoating), with a value of 280.70 HV, obtained from of a solution of 11.12% WCosolution and under operating conditions of 4A and 20 min. However, for higher percentages of cobalt in the solution and under the same operating conditions it was possible to obtain harder coatings, but with the difference that these coatings were no longer a Ni-Co alloy but Co-Ni, being the highest value obtained of 358.30 HV corresponding to a film with 67.87% WCocoating (32.13% WNicoating), obtained from a solution with 70% by weight of Ni (30% WCosolution). The polarization resistance LPR carried out by means of a potentiodynamic test to the coatings of pure nickel and Ni-Co alloys allowed to know the corrosion rates of these same. With which was determined that the coating, with a 17.76% WCocoating, obtained from a solution, with a 5.89% WCosolution, and under conditions of operation of 4A and 20 min presents the lowest corrosion rate. All these results allowed to conclude that: the hardness of the coatings has a direct relationship with the intensity of current applied in the process, the hardness of the coatings in relationship to the concentration of Co from which it comes presents a behavior divided in two stages, the first with direct relationship until a maximum point of hardness and the second indirect with a decrease of the hardness as the concentration of Co increases, also it is possible to affirm that it is possible to obtain an Ni-Co alloy more resistant to the corrosion than a coating of pure nickel and that the hardness of the coatings and the corrosion resistance does not saved a reciprocal relationship being each one of them independent of the other.
