The ceramic coatings were prepared on 2A12 alloy by micro-arc oxidation in CH 3 COONa – Na 2 WO 4 electrolyte system with different concentration of KOH added. The effects of KOH in this electrolyte on micromorphology, phase compositions, adhesion and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scratch test and electrochemistry workstation. The results show that KOH has a significant influence on the surface morphology, which can make the surface smoother. The adhesion of the coating becomes stronger with the increase of KOH in the electrolyte. The corrosion resistance of the coated specimen increases a lot compared with that of the substrate. And the lowest corrosion current density (I corr ) of the coating prepared in the electrolyte with KOH is about three orders of magnitude lower than that of the substrate.

Abstract Ceramic coatings were prepared on the surface of 7050 highstrength aluminum alloy using micro-arc oxidation in an aluminate electrolyte with added graphene. To analyze the surface morphology, roughness, phase composition, and corrosion resistance, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron, and electrochemical measurements were used, respectively. The addition of 9 g · L-1 of graphene to the electrolyte decreased the micro-pore size of the composite coatings and improved the density. In addition, with the addition of graphene, the roughness was the lowest, and the corrosion resistance was significantly improved.

Abstract In this paper, ceramic coatings were prepared on the surface of 7050 high strength aluminum alloy using a micro-arc oxidation process in a silicate electrolyte combined with the rare earth element cerium or graphene. To analyze the surface morphology, roughness, phase composition, and corrosion resistance, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, and electrochemical measurements were used, respectively. It was shown that the micropore size of the composite coatings, which mainly consisted of α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3, decreases and the density improved with the simultaneous addition of 4 g · L-1 of CeO2 and 10 g · L-1 of graphene to the electrolyte. In addition, with the addition of CeO2 and graphene, the roughness was the lowest and the corrosion resistance was significantly improved.

Ceramic coatings were fabricated on pure magnesium in silicate electrolyte system by ultrasonic micro-arc oxidation (UMAO) process, and then silica sol (CSG) and HF-CSG treatment were carried out on micro-arc oxidation coatings. The corrosion potential (Ecorr) and corrosion current density (Icorr) of the compound coatings were analyzed by electrochemical corrosion workstation. The corrosive morphology of the coatings was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that the Ecorr of the coating with CSG and HF-CSG treatment increased by 55 mV and 69 mV respectively in comparison with that of single UMAO coating, and its Icorr reduced an order of magnitude, which had enhanced the corrosion resistance.

This article examines the influence of fly ash on corrosion resistance of refractory forsterite-spinel ceramics by molten iron as a corrosive medium. Fly ash in comparison with alumina were used as raw materials and sources of aluminium oxide for synthesis of forsterite-spinel refractory ceramics. Raw materials were milled, mixed in different ratios into two sets of mixtures and sintered at 1550°C for 2 hours. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal dilatometric analysis. Crucibles were then made from the fired ceramic mixtures and fired together with iron at its melting point of 1535°C for 5 hours. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy on the transition zones between iron and ceramics. Mixtures with increased amount of spinel had higher corrosion resistance and mixtures with fly ash were comparable to mixtures with alumina in terms of corrosion resistance and refractory properties.

This work researches the influence of the nickel content on the structural and anticorrosive properties of ZrSiTiN films deposited by means of reactive co-sputtering on alloys of Ti6Al4V. The morphology and structure were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the chemical composition was identified via X-ray scattering spectroscopy (EDS). The corrosion resistance was studied using potentiodynamic polarization (PP) tests employing a 3.5% by weight NaCl solution. In the films, an increase of Ni up to 6.97 at% was observed, while in XRD the FCC phase of (Zr, Ti) N was identified, with a mixed orientation in planes (111) and (200), which tended to diminish with the increase of Ni. Finally, with the addition of Ni, the corrosion current densities were reduced from 5.56 𝑥 10−8 to 2.64 𝑥 10−9 𝐴/𝑐m2. The improvement in the corrosion resistance is due to the effect of the Ni on the microstructure of the system (Zr, Ti) N, which can improve the quality of the passive film and prevent crystalline defects and corrosion zones.

A porous titania (TiO2) coating with vermiform slots was prepared on the Ti substrate through micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment using sodium tetraborate as electrolyte. Morphologies and phase structure were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Results show that the rutile phase increases and anatase decreases gradually with increasing MAO time. The electrolyte of sodium tetraborate has significant influence on the formation of vermiform coatings, which determine the corrosive patterning in the first stage during MAO processing. The evolution of vermiform morphology is proposed as followed: some corrosive pores appear on the surface before arcing; afterward, the adjacent micropores in the dense regions link each other due to the high temperature result from continuous arc action; then, the micropores grow up to big pits and combine with each other with increasing MAO treating time; finally, the vermiform morphology forms on the surface of Ti metal.

Ceramic coatings were prepared on ZM5 magnetism substrate by micro-arc oxidation method with and without magnetism filed in silicate electrolyte. The morphology of the MAO coatings was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The friction coefficient of the MAO coatings prepared with magnetism is about 0.2 and more stable than the coatings prepared without magnetism. The polarization test indicated that the coating prepared with magnetism has better corrosion resistance.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of nitrate and nitrite on the weight, morphology and electrochemical properties of phosphated Zn-%12Ni electrodeposite coatings. In order to investigate the phase structure and surface morphology of samples, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were employed. Also, to measure the corrosion resistance behavior of the coats, Potentiostat/Galvanostat test was used. The results showed that nitrite accelerator reduces coating weight and surface porosity simultaneously obtaining by phosphate solution. Furthermore, coatings being obtained by the nitrite accelerator had a higher corrosion resistance than that of the nitrate accelerator.

Micro-arc oxidization of AM50 magnesium alloys was studied. The influence of micro-arc oxidization process was investigated; phase structure were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings formed on magnesium alloys under stress conditions. XRD analyses indicate that the ceramic coatings fabricated on the surface of magnesium alloys by micro-arc oxidization are composed of spinel phase MgAl2O4 The corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings is improved compared with magnesium alloy substrate.

Ceramic coatings were produced on magnesium (Mg) alloy of AZ91D for biomaterial applications by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and electrodeposition methods. The morphology, microstructure, phase composition and corrosion properties of the prepared coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and potentiodynamic polarization tester, etc. The results indicated that a porous oxide layer was grown on the Mg alloy sheets after MAO process and the compositions of oxides were mainly Mg2SiO4 and MgO. After further electrodeposition and alkaline treatment, a flake-like structure diverging from centre to periphery was grown on the MAO coating and the coating was mainly made up of hydroxyapatite (HA). Moreover, the corrosion resistance of the Mg alloy after being treated with MAO and electrodeposition technique increases obviously, which was evaluated in stimulated body fluid (SBF).
