Abstract
A rotor of a disc brake is coated with a nickel coating containing ceramic particles in a dispersed state and having a thickness not less than 2 .mu.m, thereby improving corrosion resistance while minimizing torque fluctuation of the rotor during braking. The nickel coating is formed on the surface of the rotor by composite plating in which nickel and the ceramic particles are simultaneously electrodeposited on the surface of the rotor. An annular jig surrounding the outer periphery of the rotor is used to insure a uniform coating thickness.

A method for forming a corrosion resistance coating on the surface of a rotor of a disc brake, comprising the steps of:
- mixing ceramic particles in a plating solution containing ions of nickel, wherein said amount of ceramic particles is within a range from 80 to 120 g per liter of said plating solution;
- surrounding outer periphery of said rotor with an annular metal jig;
- passing said rotor and said metal jig through said plating solution mixed with said ceramic particles to accomplish electroplating of nickel and ceramic particles on the surfaces of said rotor and said metal jig so that corrosion resistance coating of said rotor is obtained.
