Abstract
Disclosed herein is process method and articles of plated coating having functions ranging from wear resistance, lubricity, corrosion resistance, and further incorporating therein particulate matter having light emitting properties. Having this codeposited light emitting particles within the functional layer provides a signal for the determination of the presence of the coating and its stage of deterioration.
