The influence of the electrolyte temperature and current 
density on the content of inclusions of powder particles in composite 
coatings obtained by the electrochemical technique has been investigated. 
It has been found that the wear resistance of iron coatings with inclusions 
of powder particles of aluminum, kaolin, and calcium silicate increases 
from 5 to 10 times compared to coating without inclusions of disperse 
particles, and the friction coefficient therewith decreases from 0.097 
to 0.026. It has been shown that the mechanical properties of iron 
obtained by the method of electrochemical deposition depend on their 
fine structure. The regimes of deposition of iron-based coatings have 
been optimized.
