Ceramic coatings were prepared on Ti6Al4V alloy surface by applying micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique. K2Cr2O7 was added into the aluminate-based composite electrolyte for preparing coatings containing Cr. The coatings' morphologies were observed using SEM and their composition was characterized using XRD and EDS. Research shows that the working voltage of MAO reaction was lower after adding K2Cr2O7. The SEM pictures show that the average diameter of micropores decreased while the number increased as the K2Cr2O7 concentration increase. The coatings contain rutile TiO2, anatase TiO2, aluminium titanate (Al2TiO5) and Cr0.222Ti0.778O1.889 (when adding 1.5g/L K2Cr2O7). The EDS results show that all coatings contained Cr after adding K2Cr2O7 into electrolyte. After immersion test for half year, results show that ceramic coating containing chromium has lower anti-biofouling properties than the substrate.

The effect of technological parameters on MAO ceramic coating were investigated through the technique of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on TC4 titanium alloy and. Microstructure and morphology of coatings were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result shows that electric parameters and compositions of the electrolyte have notable effects on the growth of MAO ceramic coatings. The cathodic and anodic voltage rise gradually with the oxidation time increasing. The growth rate of ceramic coating is fast at the beginning, and then turns slowly. The ceramic coatings can be divided into three layers from interior to exterior, such as the transition layer, the dense layer and the porous layer. The coating is mainly composed of rutile and anatase and combined with the substrate firmly. The ceramic coating’s composition in inner and outer layers appears quite different. The ceramic coating on titanium alloy is of excellent performance on anti-attrition and anti-corrosion.

In micro-arc oxidation process, ceramic coating had a rapid growth all along by the way of constant current oxidation, and ceramic coating had a low roughness by the way of constant voltage oxidation. But few research focus on the mixed control process of constant current oxidation and constant voltage oxidation. In this paper we propose a variable parameter process that can combine the advantages of constant current and constant voltage oxidation for the first time. The growth kinetics of different technics was analyzed according to the change law of current and voltage. Surface topographs of ceramic coating were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The friction tests were carried out using a self-made friction tester. The results show that ceramic coating has an upper growth rate and a low roughness by the process of constant current+constant voltage oxidation. The ceramic coating has a high growth rate by process of constant voltage+constant current oxidation. The results of friction test indicate that the wear rate and roughness of ceramic coating are positive correlation at early stage of friction. While the ceramic coatings treated by different technics have the close wear rate at stable friction stage, which embodies the inner layer of ceramic coating has a well antiwear behavior.

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 present work focuses on the influence of copper complexes in the MAO electrolyte on the structure and wears resistance of ceramic coating on the surface of titanium alloy. The coatings composition and the morphologies were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is shown that the working voltage of MAO reaction was lower after adding [Cu (NH3)4]2+than adding EDTA-Cu. The color of ceramic coating is black (prepared in the electrolyte with [Cu (NH3)4]2+) and brown (prepared in the electrolyte with EDTA-Cu). The black coating contained rutile TiO2, anatase TiO2and aluminium titanate (Al2TiO5), while the brown coating contained rutile and anatase only. The black coating which contained CuO compound was found to outperform brown coating in wear resistance.

Characteristics of ceramic coatings on AM50 magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation in silicate and phosphate electrolytes have been investigated in this study. This study reveals that the thickness of the ceramic coatings increases with the treated time in both electrolytes, the growth rate of ceramic layer in phosphate is faster than that in silicate electrolyte. The surface roughness of the ceramic coating formed in phosphate electrolyte is higher than that formed in silicate electrolyte. The coatings formed in silicate, containing a thicker inner barrier layer and a thinner outer porous layer, consist of MgO, Mg2SiO4 and MgSiO3 phases. For the coatings formed in phosphate, the outer porous layer is thicker than the inner layer, it consist mainly of MgO and MgAlO4 phases.

In this paper, Three types of electrolyte (phosphate, silicate, aluminum) are considered to make preparation for micro-arc oxidation coatings on titanium alloy by bipolar pulse MAO oxidation power with low power consumption (density of current less than 1A/dm2). Treated by micro-arc oxidation, dense micro-arc oxidation ceramic coating is formed on titanium alloy. Surface morphology and friction coefficient of MAO coating is analyzed. The research on the effect of NaF on ablation of MAO coating is prepared, which guides the configuration of the electrolyte later.

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.

The regulation of ceramic coating formed by micro-arc oxidation on Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn-0.4Zr(wt%) magnesium alloys has been investigated by SEM and XRD. The relation of phase structure and corrosion resistance of MgO coating formed by micro-arc oxidation in different growth stages has been analyzed. The results have shown that in the initial stages of micro-arc oxidation, the growth of coating accords with linear regularity, which is the stage of anodic oxidation controlled by electrochemical polarization. With elongated treated time and increased thickness of the coating, the growth of coating accords with parabolic and linear regularity, which is the stage of micro-arc oxidation. In the stage of local arc light, the slope of parabola and thickness of loose coating increases so that the growth rate enhances. The phase structure of loose coating is mainly composed of MgSiO3 and the phase structure of compact ceramic coating is mainly composed of MgO. From the stage of micro-arc oxidation to local arc light, corrosion resistance of coating firstly increase and then decrease. The satisfied corrosion resistance corresponds to the coating time ranging from 7 to15minutes.The addition of rare earth elements in the magnesium alloy reduces the amount of smooth areas on ceramic surface. So the ceramic coating becomes more compact and smooth. The rare earth elements don’t form independent phases in ceramic coating but affect the relative proportion of constitution phases, resulting in the reduction of intermixed magnesium phase and the increase of the MgO and MgSiO3 phases.
