Abstract：Metal materials in service process because of its surface properties can't meet the requirements, resulting in
premature failure of the material. In order to improve the surface wear resistance and corrosion resistance of metal materials
and prolong their service life, many scholars at home and abroad have carried out a lot of research through the process of
electroless plating. In this paper, the preparation technology and research progress of different electroless plating layers are
reviewed, the existing problems of electroless plating are analyzed, and the development direction of electroless plating
layer is forecasted.
