The invention relates to a method for preparing an Al-Y2O3
composite coating through electro-deposition, which is used for preparing the Al-Y2O3
composite coating by using Y2O3 particles as second-phase particles through an electro-deposition technology. The preparation method comprises the following steps: putting
anhydrous AlCl3, LiAlH4 and Y2O3 particles into a glove box filled with
argon, weighing 4g of
anhydrous AlCl3 and 0.28 g of
anhydrous LiAlH4 by using a balance, putting the anhydrous AlCl3 and the anhydrous LiAlH4 into a
beaker, and then weighing a certain amount of Y2O3 particles (20g / L-80g / L) and putting the Y2O3 particles into the
beaker; and the
beaker is sealed, taken out and put into a fuming
cupboard. The method comprises the following steps: measuring 20ml of
benzene by using a measuring cylinder, pouring the
benzene into a sealed beaker by using a
guide tube, and then putting the beaker into a
magnetic stirrer under an ice bath condition; 5 ml of
tetrahydrofuran is measured and slowly poured into the beaker through the
guide tube, and in order to prevent the
tetrahydrofuran from deteriorating, the process needs to be carried out under an ice bath condition. And adding
tetrahydrofuran, sealing the beaker, stirring for 2-3 hours, and carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion for 30 minutes. According to the method, an aluminum sheet is used as an
anode, a
copper sheet is used as a
cathode, the
current density is controlled to be 30-50 milliamperes / cm < 2 >, the temperature of a plating solution is 20-40 DEG C, the electrodeposition time is 30-75 min, and the Al-Y2O3
composite coating with the compact surface and uniform particle distribution can be obtained, and the Al-Y2O3 composite
coating mainly comprises Al and Y2O3.
