An analysis on the structure and mechanical properties of the electrodeposition of Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings has been carried out. The composite coatings were deposited at the Si3N4 concentration variations of 10 gr/L, 20 gr/L, and 30 gr/L. The samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Vickers hardness test. The XRD data obtained was used to calculate the crystallite size, lattice strain, residual stress, and its relation to the mechanical properties of the coating are presented. The results showed that Ni crystal growth was resisted by increasing Si3N4 concentration due to the increase of Si3N4 crystal size followed by the decrease of lattice strain, internal stress and residual stress. From the hardness test result, it showed that the high hardness of composite at high Si3N4 concentration indicate the contribution of crystal refinement rather than coating stress.
