Abstract

The ceramic coatings, on the substrate of LY12 Al alloy, were prepared by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique with different electrical source parameters. The microstructure and tribological properties of the resulting micro-arc oxidation ceramic coatings(MAOC) were tested and analyzed by Nano-scratch tester, Micro-hardness tester and ball-on-disk friction tester etc. The results indicate that the thickness, roughness, micropore sizes and wear-resistance of MAOC increase with impulse frequency decreasing, however, the porosity is correspondingly reduced.
