The invention discloses a self-lubricating
aluminum coating and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that
molybdenum disulfide is pretreated through a
silane coupling agent, tetraethoxysilane mixed liquor is added, the pH is adjusted to be 9-10, a water bath reaction is conducted, and
molybdenum disulfide-
silicon dioxide microcapsules are obtained after high-temperature strengthening treatment; respectively adding a
zinc nitrate solution and a
hexamethylenetetramine solution, adjusting the pH value to 10-11, carrying out a high-temperature and high-pressure
hydrothermal reaction to obtain
zinc oxide nanorods, and carrying out ball milling treatment on the
zinc oxide nanorods, microcapsules,
stearic acid and
zirconium oxide balls under the protection of
argon to obtain doped microcapsules; after raw materials are pretreated, the raw materials and a dispersing agent solution are added into a mixer respectively, spraying
powder, a pretreated base body and the spraying
powder are obtained after mixing treatment, spraying treatment is conducted on the surface of the base body through a
plasma spraying method, and the self-lubricating
aluminum coating is obtained after
vacuum annealing treatment. Therefore, the obtained self-lubricating
aluminum coating is low in
friction coefficient, high in performance and excellent in self-lubricating property.
