Abstract
Complex salt solution systems are commonly used as electrolytes for microarc oxidation (MAO). To investigate the MAO phenomenon in simple electrolytes and evaluate the efficacy of MAO coatings, an Na3PO4 monosalt solution was used as the MAO electrolyte. In this study, the effects of the voltage and Na3PO4 concentration on the spark discharge phenomenon, thickness, roughness, and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated. The results showed that MAO coatings were effectively synthesised at high concentrations and voltages. Furthermore, the addition of KOH to the Na3PO4 monosalt solution resulted in discernible spark discharge and improved the corrosion resistance of the coatings. Thus, an MAO coating can be efficiently prepared using Na3PO4 solution as the electrolyte. In addition, the addition of KOH to the Na3PO4 monosalt solution reduced the voltage required for coating formation and enhanced the corrosion resistance of the coating.
