In this paper, electroplated NiFeP have been prepared and studied with different concentration of ferrous. The X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates that the electro deposited NiFeP thin films consist of face centered cubic phase with diffraction peaks (220), (200) and (111). The EDAX analysis confirm that the maximum nickel content of 74.49 wt% was obtained for ferrous concentration 10 g/l. The weight percentage of ferrous increased while ferrous concentration was increased. The SEM result shows that NiFeP thin films were bright and uniformly coated on cathode surface. The Vicker Hardness Tester analysis shows that increases in hardness by increasing ferrous concentration. Also VSM studies shows decrease in coercivity and increase in magnetization were achieved by increasing ferrous concentration.
