Abstract
The interfacial stresses of micro arc oxidation (MAO) coated 7075 Al alloy foil samples were measured by a deflection method. The results showed that compressive stresses were generated on the substrate-coating interface of the samples coated for different oxidation times. Electrochemical tests and slow strain rate tensile tests in a 3.5 wt% sodium chloride solution indicated that the compressive stress played a positive role in corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance. The findings of this work indicated that the MAO coating can not only act as a protective layer to hinder corrosive solution, but also the compressive stress generated during MAO process can offset part of the external stress and reduce the hydrogen penetration during SCC.
