In the field of surface engineering, multilayer structures have attracted great interest. Electrodeposition offers a versatile and controlled route to engineering coatings in tribology. Electrodeposited coatings can provide tailored electronic, magnetic, mechanical, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant characteristics as well as an improved load-bearing capability. The performance of multilayered electrodeposits can significantly exceed that of single layers. This paper critically reviews the fabrication, microstructure, engineering properties and potential applications of electrodeposited multilayer coatings. Such coatings can provide powerful, complementary additions to the toolkit for engineering electrodeposition, enabling future advances. Critical aspects requiring further R & D endeavors are identified.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFunctionally graded materialsGiant magnetoresistanceMagnetic-propertiesMechanical-propertiesCo/cu multilayersNi-cu/cuTribological propertiesCorrosion behaviorVickers hardnessLayer thicknessCompositionally modulated layerCorrosionElectrodepositionMicrostructureMultilayer coatingsNanocompositeChemistryMaterials sciencePhysicsReview000739374600024610.1016/j.apsadv.2021.100141
