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.

Abstract. 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. The high oxidation reaction of the TC4 substrate was the fiercest and the weight gains of the coated samples treated in argon was the lowest. The weight gains of the ceramic coatings were nearly changing in the form of parabola law.

Compound ceramic coatings with the main crystalline of Al2TiO5 (as-coated samples) were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by pulsed bi-polar micro-plasma oxidation (MPO) in NaAlO2 solution. The coated samples were calcined in Ar and air at 1000oC, respectively. The phase composition, morphology and element content of the coatings were investigated by XRD, SEM and XRF. The samples treated in Ar and the as-coated ones were calcined in air at 1000oC to study the oxidation resistance of the samples. The results showed that Al2TiO5 decomposed and transformed into corundum and rutile TiO2 during the high temperature calcination. Al2TiO5 decomposed very quickly in air and the proportion of Al2O3 to TiO2 was 44:55 after a complete decomposition. On the contrary, Al2TiO5 decomposed very slowly in argon with the final proportion of Al2O3 to TiO2 of 81:18 on the coating surface. The morphology of the ceramic coatings after the calcination was also different. The coatings calcined in argon were fined: the grains and pores were smaller than those of the coatings calcined in air. The weight gains of both coatings changed in the form of parabola law, and the weight gains of the coated samples treated in argon were comparatively lower than that of the as-coated samples. During the high temperature calcination, the samples treated in argon cannot distort easily, compared with the as-coated ones.

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.

Ceramic coatings with the main crystalline of TiO2 were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by pulsed bi-polar Micro-arc Oxidation (MAO) in Na2SiO3 solution. The coated samples were calcined in argon under 1000oC. The phase composition, morphology and element content of the ceramic coatings were investigated by XRD, SEM and EDS. The results showed that the main components of the coatings are TiO2 and amorphous substances, after oxidation in argon, SiO2 was crystalized in coating. The content of elements in the coatings both changed a little.

A ZrO2–Al2O3 ceramic coating and YSZ–Al2O3 coating were prepared on ZAlSil2Cu3Ni2 alloys by a modified plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in zirconium salt solution. The microstructure, heat-insulating and high temperature oxidation properties were investigated by SEM, XRD and a fabricated heat insulation temperature testing device. The results showed that the surface of the YSZ–Al2O3 coating was composed of fine particles and had lower roughness. Yttrium partially stabilized the zirconia solid solution (Y[Formula: see text]Zr[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] which was formed in zirconium yttrium salt solution with a higher reaction temperature. The growth rate of the YSZ–Al2O3 coating was greater than the ZrO2–Al2O3 coating. Especially, the outward growth obviously improves. Furthermore, the heat insulation property of the coating enhances. The curves of the weight gains in the sample with YSZ–Al2O3 coating showed a logarithmic shape under the high temperature oxidation treatment of 400[Formula: see text]C. The weight gains of the sample with YSZ–Al2O3 coating were relatively lower than that of the as-coated sample. The ceramic layer had good high temperature stability.
