Four electrolyte (aluminate, silicate, borate and phosphate) solutions were optimized for using in surface treatment of 7075 aluminum alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation. Microstructure, phase composition and corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings on the surface were analyzed by SEM, X-ray diffraction as well as electrochemical work station. It was showed that ceramic coatings prepared in aluminate solution had excellent continuity, compact structure with micro hardness of HV0.1 1100. The major portion of all coatings consisted of γ-Al2O3 and bits of α-Al2O3, the corrosion potential was increased by a small extent while the corrosion current density was significantly reduced.

A dense ceramic coatings with a thickness of 95μm was fabricated on a SiCp/ZL101 aluminum composites by using a plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) method. The XRD analysis showed that the PEO coating was mainly composed of α-Al2O3 γ-Al2O3 and mullite.The corrosion resistance of the PEO coatings and SiCp/ZL101 aluminum composites was estimated by the immersion test, salt spray test and electrochemical test. All the test results showed that the corrosion resistance of the composite was improved by the existence of the ceramic coating.

The ceramic coatings were prepared on the T6-tempered Al6061 alloy substrate under a hybrid voltage by PEO treatment in 5-30 min in a phosphate electrolyte. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to investigate the coating microstructures. With increasing the PEO treating time, the different compositions of coatings eliminate the sharp slope of the microhardness profile. The coatings PEO-treated in 30min presents excellent abrasive resistance property.

Purpose The preferable concentration of titanium carbide was optimized and added as an additive to the micro-arc oxidation electrolyte to produce a high corrosion-resistant coating on D16T aluminum alloy. Design/methodology/approach Ceramic coatings were deposited on D16T aluminum alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation in alkaline silicate electrolytes with micron titanium carbide particle suspending at different concentrations. Influences of additive concentration on morphology, elemental and phase composition and corrosion resistance of doped PEO coatings were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical methods, respectively. Findings Results revealed that suspending titanium carbide additives incorporated into ceramic coatings through discharging channels and chemically transformed into amorphous stage. The content of titanium in the doped coatings increased with the increasing concentration of suspending micron additive. Compared with the coating without particle addition, the corrosion resistance of the coating produced in 8 g/L titanium carbide suspension increased more than 20 times. The result indicated that the incorporation of titanium into the PEO coatings formed on the D16T aluminum alloy could effectively improve the corrosion resistance. Originality/value The mechanism of corporation of TiC and the mechanism of improving the corrosion resistance of the coating were proposed.

Ceramic coatings were prepared in situ on commercial pure Ti(CP-Ti) by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation(PEO) technology in an environmental-friendly solution. The voltage–time responses were recorded during different PEO processes. For short treatment times, the formation processes of ceramic coatings follow a linear kinetics, while for longer times the kinetics departs from the linear behavior. The surficial morphology and composition of the coatings was studies by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The acted electrochemical method was used to evaluate the corrosion of the coated samples in 1moll-1 NaOH solution. The potentiodynamic polarization curves of coated titanium samples and the untreated metal substrate show that the PEO coated titanium samples possess much higher corrosion potential and lower corrosion current than uncoated aluminum alloy. It is noticed that the passive current density of the samples decreased from 10-4A/cm2, for the titanium, to 10-7 A/cm2, for PEO coated titanium sample.

aluminum nitride ceramic coating were obtained on LY12 aluminum alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation in CO(NH2)2 electrolyte. The microstructure of the ceramic coating including phase and elements composition, surface and cross section morphology were investigated. The properties of the ceramic coatings such as surface roughness, thickness and bonding strength were primarily studied. The results show that the ceramic coating on LY12 aluminum alloy surface was AlN coating with the thickness of 12 um. The AlN ceramic coating showed rough and porous. The average diameter of the pores was 6 um and the surface roughness was 1.5 um. The bonding strength of the coating was 18 ± 2 MPa.
