The invention relates to the field of aluminum alloys, in particular to a method for preparing a wave-absorbing functional protecting
coating on the surface of an aluminum
alloy and various coatings prepared by the method. The method comprises the following steps of: preparing a micro-arc oxidized
ceramic layer on the surface of the aluminum
alloy; and then compounding a wave-absorbing
coating on the surface of the oxidized
ceramic layer to prepare the aluminum
alloy wave-absorbing functional
coating with
corrosion resistance and a wave-absorbing function, the
ceramic layer with a compact
microstructure is prepared by the method, and the
corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy is obviously improved. The wave-absorbing coating compounding technology has the effect of sealing the porous ceramic layer, so while the
corrosion resistance of the ceramic layer is improved, the wave-absorbing function of the ceramic layer is achieved. In addition, the absorption strength and an absorption peak
frequency interval are effectively changed by adjusting the type, the content and the electromagnetic parameters of a wave-absorbing agent and the thickness of a coating. The comprehensive coating prepared by the method has the characteristics of high corrosion resistance, firm
surface bonding strength, wide electromagnetic wave-absorbing frequency range and the like, and can be widely applied to fields, such as
aviation,
spaceflight, military industry and electronic products.
