The interaction effect of micro arc oxidation (MAO) parameters on the microstructure and wear properties was investigated. The results showed that the electric current and oxidation time significantly influenced the thickness and grinding crack width of the ceramic coatings within the range of the selected parameters, and the interaction effect of the electrical parameters was not obvious. The surface morphology, cross-section morphology, and element distribution of the coatings were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that ceramic coatings with γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 formed, which enhanced the coating performance. After that, the microhardness and wear resistance were tested. Under the optimal process, the microhardness of a coating section was up to 1200 HV0.1, and the friction coefficient was just 0.3. When wear occurred, the volcanic microstructures experienced extrusion and deformation, and then peeled off under shear stress, which led to the formation of a grinding crack. The main failure modes of the micro arc oxidation coatings were abrasive wear and spalling failure.

Ceramic coatings have been synthesized on 6063 aluminum alloy by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique in the solution of Na2B4O7 electrolyte with and without α- Al2O3 nanoadditive. Effects of α- Al2O3 nanoadditive on the phase composition, micro-structure, micro-hardness, adhesion and wear resistance of the prepared ceramic coatings have been investigated in this paper. The phase composition and microstructure of the MAO coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) analyses, respectively. Micro-hardness, adhesion and tribological and wear tests were also performed. The results showed that the α- Al2O3 nanoadditive doped in the electrolyte had great influence on the structural and mechanical properties of the ceramic coatings.

Micro Arc Oxidation

In this study, ceramic coatings were prepared on the surface of TC4 titanium alloy by micro-arc oxidation (MAO). The morphology, element distribution and phase composition of MAO coatings were analyzed by SEM, EDS, XRD and other analytical methods. The effect of hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) doping on wear resistance and corrosion resistance of micro-arc oxidation layer was studied. The results show that the coating is mainly composed of rutile TiO2, anatase TiO2 and a small amount of h-BN. Furthermore, the composite coating containing h-BN was less porous than particle-free coating. The test results show that h-BN doping slightly affects the hardness of the MAO coating, and it is helpful in improving the thickness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the coatings. When the amount of h-BN is 3 g/L, the corrosion current density of the coating is the smallest; When the addition of h-BN is 1.5 g/L, the friction coefficient of the coating is the smallest. The wear mechanism was adhesive wear, accompanied by slight abrasive wear.

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).

Oxidation ceramic coating was directly synthesized on LY12 aluminium alloy by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process in Na2SiO3 electrolyte solution with the Na2WO4-KOH-Na2EDTA addition. The corrosion resistance of the coating was tested using CS300P electrochemical corrosion workshop in 3.5% NaCl solution. Using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), the cross-section microstructure, the surface morphology and the phase structure of the micro-arc oxidation ceramic coating were analyzed. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of the micro-arc oxidation ceramic coating in 3.5% NaCl solution was enhanced remarkably, the corrosion velocity was obviously slowed down. The thickness of micro-arc oxidation ceramic coating was about 11μm. The final phases in the coating were found to be α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3. The mechanism of the oxidation ceramic coating formation was investigated too.

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.

Compound ceramic coatings with the main crystal phase of Al2TiO5 (as-coated samples) were prepared in situ on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by means of pulsed bi-polar micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in an NaAlO2 solution. The coated samples were calcined in argon and air at 1000 oC, respectively. The phase composition, surface and section morphology, and element contents of the ceramic coatings were investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). The samples were treated in argon and the as-coated ones were calcined in air at 1000 oC to study the anti-oxidation properties of the samples. The results show that Al2TiO5 had been decomposed in an hour and transformed into α-Al2O3 and rutile TiO2 in air. However, Al2TiO5 had been decomposed in four hours in argon and the final coating surface was completely composed of α-Al2O3. The content of Al2O3 was decreased from outside to inside layers and Ti2O3 was formed in the coating. Furthermore, the morphology of the ceramic coatings after the calcination was different. The coatings calcined in argon were finer; the grains and pores were smaller than those in air.

Compound ceramic coatings with the main crystalline of Al2TiO5 (as-coated samples) were prepared in situ on the surface Ti-6Al-4V alloy by means of pulsed bi-polar micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in a NaAlO2 solution. The coated samples were calcined in argon and air at 1000 oC, respectively. The phase composition, surface morphology of the ceramic coatings were investigated by XRD, SEM and XRF. The samples were treated in argon and the as-coated ones were calcined in air at 1000 oC to study the anti-oxidation properties of the samples. The results show that Al2TiO5 was decomposed very soon and transformed into α-Al2O3 and rutile TiO2 in air. However, Al2TiO5 was decomposed very slowly in argon and the final coating surface was completely α-Al2O3. Also, the morphology of the ceramic coatings after the calcination was different. The coatings calcined in argon were fined; grains and pores were smaller than those in air. High temperature oxidation occurred very strongly in the TC4 substrate, the weight gains of the as-coated ceramic coatings and the treated ones in argon were nearly changing in the form of parabola, and the weight gains of the coated samples treated in argon were comparatively lower than those of the as-coated samples.

Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), VSP electrochemical workstation and friction and wear tester equipment are applied for comparing the effects on organizations and properties of micro-arc oxidation fabricated on a piece of aluminum alloy sample with additives of La (NO3)3 or Ce (SO4)2. The results revealed that both coatings with these two different additives are consisted of α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3, but the peaks of main phases are evident with La (NO3)3. Compared the two different coatings, it could be found that less micro-cracks can be observed from the coating with La (NO3)3 additive. Beside this, aperture in this coating is also smaller and corrosion resistance and wear resistance are much better.
