Preparation and Tribological Properties of Graphite-Containing Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Coatings on Al Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Graphite-containing plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) composite coatings were prepared on Al alloy using periodically constant voltage, with addition of graphite in silicate electrolyte. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies of the coatings were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM), the composition of the coatings was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra, the tribological properties of the coatings were evaluated on a tribometer. The results show that friction-reducing PEO composite coatings on Al alloy can be prepared in graphite-dispersed electrolyte using periodically constant voltage, the yielded coatings exhibit relatively lower and more stable friction coefficient.
