Abstract
The Al2O3-ZrO2 composite ceramic coatings were prepared on 2A12 aluminum alloy by Microarc oxidation in the mixed electrolyte of 40g/L Na2SiO3 and 8g/L Na2WO4 solution containing different ZrO2 content particles. The thickness of the coatings was measured by an eddy current thickness meter. Microstructure and phase composition were analyzed by scanning election microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The experimental results show that ZrO2 in electrolyte can promote coatings growth; Al2O3-ZrO2 composite ceramic coatings consist of α-Al2O3, t-ZrO2, m-ZrO2, and ZrO2 is located in island-like discharge channels and does not destroy the integrity of composite coatings; There is scarcely any erosion on the surface of Al2O3-ZrO2 composite coatings because the intermediate product Zr(OH)4 could suppress composite coating corrosion.
