NiFeCr thin films were coated on Al substrate by using electrodeposition method at 30 0 C of temperature by varying the current density. In this investigation the bath pH was desired as 3.All the coated films were subjected to the structural and magnetic characterization. The wt.% of Ni, Fe and Cr were determined by using Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX). The particle size and micro hard ness of the electrodeposited NiFeCr films were calculated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers hardness test. The coercivity and saturation magnetization of the coated thin films were found by using Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) pictures of the coated films reveals that the surface morphology is uniform and it is composed with fine grains. The XRD pattern shows the crystalline nature of the film. The average particle size is 27 nm. From the VSM pattern we conclude that the electrodeposited NiFeCr films have lo wer coercivity 12.194G with higher magnetization value of 0.11660 emu.
