摘要
Al2O3 ceramic coatings were directly prepared on 6063 aluminum alloy in borate electrolytes by micro-arc oxidation technique. The microstructure, phase composition, elemental distribution, and micro-hardness of Al2O3 ceramic coatings were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and micro-hardness test. The fabricated samples were almost composed of alpha-Al2O3 and gamma-Al2O3, also there existed pores and cracks on the surface of the coatings. Micro-hardness test shows that the prepared coatings are of high hardness, which can satisfy the requirements for the mechanical application. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
