The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum-
lithium alloy surface treatment, and discloses an aluminum-
lithium alloy micro-arc oxidation method and an
electrolyte adopted by the same. Thealuminum-
lithium alloy micro-arc oxidation method comprises three steps of pretreatment, micro-arc oxidation and aftertreatment. The adopted
electrolyte comprises solute and a
solvent, and comprisesthe following components including 10-20 g / L of
sodium silicate, 6-10 g / L of strong base, 3-5 g / L of
sodium tungstate and 0.5-1 g / L of an additive, and deionized water is used as the
solvent. According to the aluminum-lithium alloy micro-arc oxidation method and the
electrolyte, the content of the alkaline solute is increased, micro-arc oxidation is promoted to quickly form a film, and the time required by
processing is shortened. The solution is good in stability, high in repeated
utilization rate and low in cost of used raw materials, a film layer with a certain thickness and
corrosion resistance can be prepared within a short time, after 600-hour complete soaking
corrosion, the
surface film layer is still complete, and an alloy matrix is kept intact; and an electrochemical test shows that the
corrosion current density can be reduced by nearly two orders of magnitudes.
