Effect of mechanical polishing on friction and corrosion resistance of mild steel micro-arc oxidation coating
The study investigates the effect of mechanical polishing (MP) post-treatment on the friction and corrosion resistance of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings applied to mild steel. A composite coating was prepared on mild steel by combining MAO and MP processes. The formation mechanism of α-Al2O3 and FeAl2O4 in the coating was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Experimental results show that MP post-treatment significantly reduces the surface roughness of the MAO coating to 2.6 μm and exposes additional high-hardness α-Al2O3 phase by removing volcanic protrusions on the surface. As a result, the Vickers hardness of the coating increases to 1169.1 H V, which is 8.9 % higher than that of the unpolished MAO coating. The friction test shows that the volume wear rate of the MAO + MP coating is 3.62 × 10−5 mm3/(N·m) when tested with the GCr15 friction pair under a 5N load. However, the corrosion resistance decreases due to the thinning of the coating and microstructural changes induced by MP. This study confirms that the synergistic effect of MAO and MP significantly improves the wear resistance of mild steel. However, the trade-off with corrosion protection must be considered, providing a theoretical basis for surface modification under high-load friction conditions.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
