Zirconia coating was produced on Al-Si alloys by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The alkaline electrolyte containing Zr(OH)4 powders was used. The composition and structure of the coating were investigated by SEM and XRD. The results show that in the initial stages of oxidation the growth of coating belongs to the stage of anodic oxidation controlled by electrochemical polarization. The growth of coating is mainly outward growth and the growth rate is faster. With elongated treated time and increased thickness of the coating, the growth of coating is mainly ingrowth. In contrast with the stage of anodization, the growth rate of plasma electrolytic oxidation is slower than anodization. The coating consists of t-ZrO2, m-ZrO2, α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3.T-ZrO2 is the main phase and distributes in outer layer of the coating, however, α-Al2O3 appears in inner layer of the coating. Many micro-particles appear on the coating surface with dimension of 1-2μm.. In the process of plasma electrolytic oxidation, Zr(OH)4 powders move and deposit on the mouth of plasma discharge channel under the effect of electric field force, then it is transformed to ZrO2 by the high temperature of plasma discharge.

There has been carried out an analysis of methods of oxide covering formation productivity increasing during plasma electrolytic oxidation of aluminum in electrolyte. There has been developed a technology of blank manufacturing and part strengthening by plasma electrolytic oxidation in the electrolyte, as well as the workbench has been modernized. There has been studied the process of oxidoceramic coating synthesis for the D16T aluminum deformed alloy of during plasma electrolytic oxidation in the electrolyte for different process parameters. It is established that the growth rate of oxidoceramic coating can be significantly increased by electrolyte component concentration involved in aluminum oxidation and rational choice of process electrical parameters. Hydrogen peroxide addition leads to obtained oxoceramic coating thickness increasing due to O, O2, OH, OH– concentration increasing in the electrolyte. It is established that the optimal concentration of H2O2 ranges from 5 g/l to 7 g/l.  A further increase of peroxide concentration leads to a decrease in peroxide effect on oxoceramic coating growth rate on the D16T aluminum deformed alloy due to pH changes of the electrolyte and the deterioration of the oxide coating.
