Friction and Wear Response of a Hard-Anodized AA6082

Article Preview

Abstract:

The properties of anodized aluminum, and wear resistance in particular, are of high interest for the scientific community. In this study, discs of AA6082 were subjected to a peculiar hard anodizing process leading to anodized samples having different thicknesses. In order to investigate the wear mechanism of samples, unidirectional tribological tests were performed against alumina balls (corundum) under different loading conditions. Surface and microstructure of all the samples were characterized before and after the tribological tests, using different characterization techniques. The tribological tests showed remarkable differences in the friction coefficient and wear behavior of the anodized AA6082 samples, related to the microstructure modifications and to the specific applied sliding conditions.
