Effect of Ce(SO4)2 Additive on Coating Formed by Micro-Arc Oxidation Process on Casting Aluminum-Copper Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ceramic coatings were fabricated on casting aluminum-copper alloy through micro-arc oxidation by mixing Ce(SO4)2 into the silicate electrolyte. The effects of Ce(SO4)2 additive on the ceramic coatings were analyzed by means of SEM, EDX, XRD, hardness and corrosion tests. The results show that Ce(SO4)2 effectively promoted the reaction of the MAO coating surface, increased the thickness and hardness of the coating and enhanced the corrosion-resisting property. The optimal addition amount of Ce(SO4)2 in the electrolyte is 0.2g/L.
