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 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.

Micro-arc oxidation (MAO), also called plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), anodic spark deposition (ASD), or micro-arc discharge oxidizing (MDO), is an effective surface treatment technique which come from anodic oxidation technology. Via increasing the anodic voltage breaking through faraday area to a high stage accompanied by micro-arc discharge phenomenon, It indicated the ceramic coatings thickness increase along with the scanning times increase, while the thickness increment reduces. The phase composition, morphology and element distribution was studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and line scanning. The morphology of the ceramic coatings shows it divided into compact layer and loose layer. And it composes of α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3.

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.

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.

In this paper, Aluminum trioxide ceramic coatings were grown on surfaces of 2024 Aluminum alloys by micro-plasma oxidation in an aluminate electrolytic solution. In order to decrease the density of the pores and increase the anti-wear property of the ceramic coatings, Titania were added into the aluminate electrolytic solution. The struture and anti-wear property of the produced ceramic coatings were measured by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope , hardness tester and frictionometer. The results show that the thickness of the ceramic coating is about 24±1 μm, surfaces of the ceramic coatings are very uniform. The hardness of the doped coating is up to 930 HV, and the wear property of the coating is the more excellent than that of undoped coating.

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 ceramic coating was formed by micro-plasma arc oxidation (MPAO) on AZ91D magnesium alloy. The surface and section morphology of coatings were observed using scanning electron microscopy. The phase composition of coatings was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The method of salt fog experimental was carried out to proof-test performances of anti-corrosion of material. The results showed that the ceramic coating was composed by loose layer and compact layer. The coating surface has a large number of grains with various sizes. In addition, there is also a lot of pore in the loose layer, but the compact layer is tighter than the loose layer. Compact layer has a good combination with substrate magnesium alloy. The MPAO coating is mainly composed of silica oxide (MgAl2Si3O12 and β-Mg2SiO4 and (Mg4Al14) (Al4Si2)O20) and composite oxide of Mg and Al (δ-MgAl28O4). The performance of resistant corrosion of AZ91D coved by ceramic coating is higher than AZ91D magnesium alloy. The corrosion ratio of AZ91D alloy coved by ceramic coatings to AZ91D alloy is 1:8.61.

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.
