Abstract

The invention relates to the field of electrochemistry, and discloses a two-step micro-arc oxidation method for producing a super wear-resistant coating on the surface of an aluminium alloy. The method uses the aluminium alloy as a base body and uses the low-concentration and high-concentration aluminate solutions as mediums, and an aluminium oxide layer with a compact single layer structure is quickly formed through the two-step micro-arc oxidation, wherein the content of a corundum (alpha-Al2O3) component is more than 40%. A film with the thickness of about 40 to 50 micrometers can be formed only needing 8 to 10 min of the micro-arc oxidation. The film has excellent wear resistance, for the film with the thickness of about 40 to 50 micrometers, under the ball-block type dry friction condition, the wear of the film is just slight when being subjected to friction with load of 80 N for 30 min (the depth of the wearing scratch is 12 micrometers), and for the silicate micro-arc oxidation film taken as comparison, under the condition with the load of 80 N, the film can be worn after 5 min of friction, and the depth of the friction scratch reaches 109 micrometers.

Description
