Tribological Performance of Ceramic Composite Coatings Obtained through Microarc Oxidation on Ly12 Aluminum Alloy
Abstract:
A dense ceramic oxide coating approximately 30µm thick was prepared on a Ly12 Al alloy by microarc oxidation in an alkali-silicate electrolytic solution. The morphology and microstructure were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Coating thickness and surface roughness (Ra) were measured after the coating had been synthesized. The tribological performance of the coatings was evaluated using a dry sand abrasion test and a solid particle erosion test. The results show that microarc oxidation coatings consist of the loose superficial layer and the inner dense layer. Both inner layer and out layer are composed of α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3, While the Al6Si2O3 phase is observed only in out loose layer. The average of the microhardness of the coating is 2096Hv.
