Microarc Oxidation of Metal Surfaces: Coating Properties and Applications

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

The paper deals with one of the most promising, intensively developing methods of depositing functional oxide coatings onto aluminum and titanium alloys, namely microarc oxidation (MAO) performed in the pulsed current mode. MAO layers can be obtained due to both oxidation of the substrate material and thermochemical transformations of electrolyte components and their subsequent melting on the part surface. It is shown how the black coating appears on the surface of aluminum and titanium alloys due to the MAO process. The structure, phase and elemental compositions of the resulting coatings are studied in this paper.
