Influences of Current Density on Tribological Characteristics of Ceramic Coatings on 6061 Al Alloy by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation
Abstract:
Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of an 6061 Al alloy was accomplished in an electrolyte with sodium hexametaphosphate (10 g/L) and sodium silicate (10 g/L) Coatings were produced at four different current densities (4, 6, 8 and 10 A/dm2). Phase composition, morphology and tribological characteristics of the coatings were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and ball-on-disk friction testing. The results show that among the four ceramic coatings which were produced under four current densities, the coating produced under the current density of 8 A/dm2 got the lowest wear rate with the value of 4.5 × 10-5 g/m.
