The Effect of Silicon in Al-Si Alloys and Electrical Treatment Modes on Structure and Properties of MAO-Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

The work shows the influence of the content of silicon in the aluminum alloy and the regimes of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on the structure and properties of the formed coatings. Treatment of samples from high-silicon aluminum alloys AK12pch (Si ~12 %) and M244 (Si ~25 %) was carried out in two modes, which have different installation capacity MAO. The thickness, micro-hardness, porosity of the formed MAO coatings was investigated. It is established that the increase in the proportion of silicon in the aluminum alloy leads to the formation of MAO coatings of significant thickness (~230 μm), with low micro-hardness (HV ~650) and high porosity (up to ~16 %). Increase 4 times the installation capacity of MAO causes the growth of the thickness of the coating, reduces the porosity of the coating on the alloy AK12pch and increases the porosity of the coating on the alloy M244.
