Abstract

A micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating coupled with nano-Al₂O₃ particles was produced on AZ31B Mg alloy by a constant voltage mode in a nano-Al₂O₃ particles containing Na₂SiO₃-NaOH aqueous solution assisted with ultrasonic vibration, and then its morphology, phase composition, corrosion- and wear-resistance were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electrochemical method in 3.5%(mass fraction) NaCl solution, and friction and wear tester, respectively. The results show that the coupled nano-Al₂O₃ particles lead the MAO coating to be thicker and denser with smaller sized pores, and the coatings composed of MgO, MgSiO₃, and Al₂O₃. The AZ31B Mg alloy covered with MAO coating coupled with nano-Al₂O₃ particles shows a corrosion current density about one order of magnitude lower than the one without nano-Al₂O₃ particles, and the former MAO coating also shows smaller friction coefficient by applied loads of 5 and 10 N respectively. Therefore, the addition of Al₂O₃ particles to electrolyte solution can clearly enhance the corrosion- and wear-resistance of the MAO coating. The above effect may be ascribed to the fact that the coupled nano-Al₂O₃ particles dispersed into the coating pores, and then enables the MAO coating to be much dense and strengthened, and in turn, enhances its corrosion- and wear-resistance.

Key words: magnesium alloy micro-arc oxidation nano-Al2O3 corrosion resistance wearresistance
