Abstract
The paper presents the results of a study of the protective properties of composite coatings obtained on AMg3 aluminum alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) and subsequent modification of formed oxide layer with superdispersed polytetrafluoroethylene (SPTFE) from a suspension based on isopropyl alcohol. The incorporation of fluoropolymer decreased the porosity of base PEO-coating more than one order of magnitude. Formed composite layers increased wearproof of the samples by more than two orders of magnitude in comparison with PEO-coating. Additionally, polymer-containing coatings has higher adhesion compared to substrate. Formed composite layers possess superhydrophobic properties: contact angle attains 155°.
