采用等离子体电解氧化方法在铝合金表面制备了氧化锆涂层,电解液为包含Zr(OH)4颗粒的碱性溶液. 涂层的组成、结构通过XRD、EPMA进行了研究. 结果显示,涂层主要由t-ZrO2、m-ZrO2、α-Al2O3和γ-Al2O3组成,t-ZrO2为涂层的主晶相,分布在涂层表面,而α-Al2O3出现在涂层的内侧.涂层表面呈颗粒状,颗粒尺寸约为1~2μm.在氧化过程中,Zr(OH)4颗粒在电场力的作用下向等离子体放电通道口沉积,在放电产生的高温作用下直接转化为氧化锆.
Zirconia coating was produced on aluminium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The alkaline electrolyte containing Zr(OH)4 powders was used. The composition and structure of the coating were investigated by XRD, EPMA. The results show that the coating consists of t-ZrO2, m-ZrO2, α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3. t-ZrO2 is the main phase and distributes in outer layer of the coating, however, α-Al2O3 appears in inner layer of the coating. Many micro-particles appear on the coating surface with dimension of 1-2μm. In the process of plasma electrolytic oxidation, Zr(OH)4 powders move and deposite on the mouth of plasma discharge channel under the effect of electric field force, then it is transformed to ZrO2 by the high temperature of plasma discharge.
