Abstract

The invention discloses an electrolyte for micro-arc oxidation of magnesium alloys to prepare ceramic layers, and a corresponding process method thereof. The electrolyte contains deionized water, sodium hexametaphosphate and additives, wherein the additives mainly include fluorides, a colorant and alkali metal hydroxides. The content of the sodium hexametaphosphate is 30-70 g/L, the content of the fluorides is 2-12 g/L, the content of the colorant is 2-10 g/L, and the pH value of the electrolyte is 7-10. The electrolyte is relatively low in system alkalinity, is a weak alkaline electrolyte for micro-arc oxidation, and can effectively reduce the process complexity of a water washing process in a micro-arc-electrophoresis production line, shorten the production line process, reduce the sewage discharge, and reduce the production cost; and once the electrolyte provided by the invention is adopted for carrying out the micro-arc oxidation of magnesium alloys, prepared ceramic layers have beautiful and decorative properties, so that a problem that ceramic layers prepared through the micro-arc oxidation of magnesium alloys are single in color is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of light metal surface treatment, and in particular relates to an electrolyte for micro-arc oxidation of magnesium alloys and a process method thereof. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloy has the characteristics of low density, high specific stiffness and specific strength, large energy attenuation coefficient and auxiliary heat dissipation performance. It is a priority alternative material in the development process of "lightweight" in the manufacturing industry. However, its electrode potential is relatively negative and its corrosion resistance is poor, so proper surface treatment must be applied, otherwise it is difficult to meet the surface protection performance requirements of anti-corrosion and anti-scratch. [0003] Micro-arc oxidation is a light metal surface treatment technology. Its principle is to form a layer of oxide ceramic layer in situ on the surface of aluminum, magnesium, etc., which act ...
