Influence of electrolyte composition and deposition parameters on the composition, structure, physicalmechanical and functional properties of composite silver-tungsten coatings was studied. It was shown that addition of sodium tungstate in electrolyte and application of ultrasound at the electroplating leads to formation of silver layers that contains tungsten oxides and demonstrates lower crystalline nucleus. Application of ultrasound vibration at the electrochemical deposition increases ability for plating process control and allows to optimize electrophysical and functional properties of composite electrochemical coatings, to make dense fine crystalline thin layers. Obtained layers demonstrate increased microhardness (by 10–50 %), wear resistance (1,5–2 times), corrosion resistance and improved contact electrical resistance. It is shown that application of ultrasound effect to electrodeposition allows increased level of permissible current density and provides.
