A process for the deposition of thick coatings with a thickness &gt;1 mm on products made of copper or alloys thereof, wherein said products are subjected to the following operations: surface activation of the product made of copper or alloys thereof; optional heat stabilization to a temperature below the ones causing deterioration of the chemical and physical properties of the copper or alloys thereof; deposition of a first layer, for example of Ni or alloys thereof; optional interdiffusion heat treatment; optional activation of the surface of the first layer; thermal stabilization of said product at a temperature of between 20.degree. and 400.degree. C.; deposition of one or more intermediate layers of at least one of the following: Al; AlSi; Cu; Ni; NiAl; NiCr; NiCu; MCrAlY (wherein M can be Ni, Co, Fe or mixtures thereof), mixtures thereof, or mixtures of said intermediate layers with said thick coating; thermal stabilization of the product coated with said intermediate layers at a temperature of between 20.degree. and 300.degree. C.; and deposition of said thick coating on the product coated with said intermediate layers.
